Footwear HS Code description
Footwear harmonized system code
Product Overview Footwear classifiable under HTS 6402.99 consists of finished shoes with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers principally of textile materials (textile >50% by weight), excluding specialized sports or protective footwear classified elsewhere. Key characteristics include upper construction (woven or knitted textile, denier/weight specifications), sole construction (rubber or thermoplastic elastomer soles, thickness 3–25 mm, Shore A hardness), assembly methods (cemented, vulcanized, sewn) and measurable quality attributes (stitch density, seam tensile strength in N, abrasion cycles per ISO 20344). Processing levels range from cut‑and‑sew uppers to last‑formed finished pairs with trimming and labeling. Product classifications within 6402.99 commonly differentiate by form and end‑use: canvas slip‑ons, espadrilles, casual lace‑ups, moccasins and textile uppers with toe/heel reinforcements. Commercial applications include retail consumer footwear, light‑duty uniform and hotel slippers, distribution for private‑label brands and use as input stock for finishing or re‑packing operations. HTS Code Classification & Trade Specifications Six‑digit HTS structure: Chapter 64 — “Footwear, gaiters and the like; parts of such articles”; Heading 6402 — “Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of textile materials”; Subheading 6402.99 — “Other.” Classification rationale: items are last‑shaped, finished footwear with textile‑dominant uppers (>50% by weight) and rubber/plastic/composition outer soles, not meeting specialized sport/protective subheadings. For U.S. duty calculation the 6‑digit base is refined to 10‑digit HTSUS codes that account for gender, age, material detail and finishing; precise material composition, assembly method and intended end‑use determine final duty classification. Trade considerations include standard retail packing (1 pair/polybag; 6–24 pairs/carton), carton gross weight typically 12–22 kg, desiccant and sealed polybags for moisture control, cardboard dividers to prevent deformation, palletization on 48×40 in pallets and container optimization for 20’/40’ FCLs. Applicable quality and compliance references: ISO 20344 test methods, AATCC textile tests and U.S. FTC fiber‑content and country‑of‑origin labeling requirements.
