👞 Footwear (Shoes) – HS Code Classification & US Customs Duty Guide
🌐 HS Code Reference & Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: What Kind of Shoes Are They?
Footwear (Chapter 64) is strictly classified by material composition and sole type. The key distinction lies between: 1. Waterproof Footwear (6401): Outer soles and uppers made of rubber, plastics, etc., designed to be waterproof. 2. Other Footwear (6402, 6404, 6405): Non-waterproof, including athletic shoes, slippers, and other footwear with rubber/plastic soles.
⚠️ Critical Distinction:
- If the shoe has a rubber/plastic outer sole AND upper and is waterproof (e.g., rain boots, gumboots) → It likely falls under 6401.
- If the shoe is NOT waterproof (e.g., sneakers, casual shoes, sandals) with rubber/plastic soles → It falls under 6402 or 6404.
- ⚠️ The Code6401.92.60.00is NOT in your provided data. Your data focuses on 6402 and others.
📦 II. HS Code Classification Details (Based on Provided <DATA> Only)
Since 6401.92.60.00 is missing, here are the actual codes from your data with their tax breakdowns. These appear to be US HTS Codes targeting Chinese-origin goods (due to Section 301 & IEEPA taxes).
| HS Code | Product Description (Summary from Data) | Total Tax Rate | Tax Detail Breakdown |
|---|---|---|---|
6402.99.49.80 |
Other footwear, outer/upper rubber/plastic. Matches "Other Categories". | 55.0% | Base: 37.5% + Add'l: 7.5% + Sec 122: 10% |
6402.99.49.60 |
Other footwear, rubber/plastic outer/upper. Matches attributes. | 55.0% | Base: 37.5% + Add'l: 7.5% + Sec 122: 10% |
6405.10.00.90 |
Other footwear (non-waterproof). Rubber/plastic material. | 27.5% | Base: 10.0% + Add'l: 7.5% + Sec 122: 10% |
6402.91.40.50 |
Footwear with outer/upper rubber/plastic. Specific sub-category. | 16.0% | Base: 6.0% + Add'l: 0.0% + Sec 122: 10% |
6404.20.60.80 |
Other footwear (catch-all). Material no conflict. | 55.0% | Base: 37.5% + Add'l: 7.5% + Sec 122: 10% |
🔍 Key Insight:
- Most codes in your data have a 55% effective duty rate due to high base tariffs (37.5%) plus additional Section 122/301 tariffs.
-6402.91.40.50is the most cost-effective at only 16% total, but it requires specific material/shape compliance.
-6405.10.00.90is mid-range at 27.5%, with a lower base tariff (10%).

About HS Code Classification
The Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardized nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to classify traded products. Over 200 countries use the HS system as the basis for customs tariffs, trade statistics, and import/export regulations.
Each HS code follows a hierarchical structure:
- Chapter (2 digits) — Broad category of goods (e.g., Chapter 84: Machinery and Mechanical Appliances)
- Heading (4 digits) — More specific grouping within the chapter
- Subheading (6 digits) — Internationally standardized breakdown, used by all WCO member countries
- National subdivisions (8-10 digits) — Country-specific extensions for further classification, such as US HTSUS 10-digit codes
Correct HS code classification is essential for smooth customs clearance, accurate duty payment, and compliance with trade regulations. Misclassification can lead to customs delays, overpayment of duties, or penalties.
When importing from CN to US, the applicable tariff rates may include:
- Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate — The standard duty rate applied to WTO members
- General rate — Applied to countries without trade agreements
- Trade remedy duties — Additional tariffs such as Section 301 (anti-dumping), Section 232 (national security), or countervailing duties
