Last updated: July 2026 dataProtective metal toe-cap footwear — commonly called steel-toed or safety boots — with leather uppers and outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather is classified here, serving the construction, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. The US schedule separates pigskin-upper variants (6403403030) from other leather uppers (6403403090), with a third line (6403406000) covering other protective toe-cap configurations. Cambodia leads US supply under this heading, ahead of China and Vietnam — an unusual sourcing pattern that reflects the concentration of safety footwear manufacturing capacity in Southeast Asia beyond the two largest producers. Importers should confirm that the metal toe-cap meets applicable ASTM or ANSI safety standards, as buyers in regulated industries often require certification documentation independent of customs classification.

Cambodia has developed significant capacity in safety and work footwear manufacturing, partly through foreign direct investment from brands seeking to diversify production away from China. Its position ahead of China and Vietnam under this specific heading reflects that concentration, though supply chains remain closely linked across the region.
CBP may request technical specifications or manufacturer's certifications confirming the presence and construction of the metal toe-cap. Importers should retain product spec sheets and, where applicable, ASTM F2413 or equivalent test reports, as these support both correct classification and downstream compliance with workplace safety procurement requirements.
