Footwear; other footwear n.e.c. in chapter 64
6-digit subheadings (3)
Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.
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.
