Chapter 64 classification notes

Classification depends on outer sole material AND upper material — both matter. Duty rates 8-48% (US footwear duties are among the highest in the tariff schedule). Anti-dumping duties on Chinese and Vietnamese footwear in EU.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

The upper material determines the subheading, but many shoes combine leather and textile — classify by the material with the greatest external surface area of the upper.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
