Last updated: August 2026 dataZoris — the trade term for flip-flops and thong sandals where upper straps are attached to the sole by plug insertion rather than adhesive or stitching — occupy a dedicated single-line heading (6402200000) that turns entirely on the plug-assembly construction method. China and Vietnam together account for the overwhelming majority of US imports, with Brazil also a notable supplier. Because the plug-assembly criterion is the sole classification driver, importers must confirm construction method with manufacturers: thong sandals bonded or cemented rather than plug-assembled fall outside this heading and into 640299. Goods of Chinese origin are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a cost factor that has accelerated sourcing shifts toward Vietnam and Cambodia.

Importers should retain manufacturer construction diagrams or cross-section photographs clearly showing the plug-and-socket attachment of the strap to the sole, along with a written material specification confirming rubber or plastic uppers and outer soles. If the strap is bonded or cemented rather than plug-assembled, the article does not qualify for 640220 regardless of its thong-sandal appearance.
Yes — the Section 301 tariff exposure on Chinese-origin goods has been a significant driver of production shifts to Vietnam and Cambodia for this price-sensitive, high-volume category. Vietnam is now the second-largest supplier under this heading. Importers should verify that goods produced in third countries using Chinese-origin materials or components do not trigger substantial transformation or country-of-origin issues.
