Last updated: August 2026 dataGolf shoes, tennis shoes, and other athletic footwear with leather uppers and rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather outer soles fall here — ski boots are explicitly excluded. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading extensively by construction method (welt vs. non-welt), gender, and upper material (pigskin vs. other leather), making correct 10-digit classification a recurring challenge for importers. Vietnam leads US supply under this heading, followed by China and Italy, reflecting both high-volume athletic production and premium European craftsmanship. Welt-constructed golf shoes and pigskin-upper variants each carry distinct tariff lines, so specification documentation from the foreign manufacturer is essential at entry.

Welt construction — where the upper is stitched to a welt strip before the sole is attached — is a separate classification criterion at the 10-digit level. Importers must obtain construction details from the manufacturer, as misclassifying a cemented shoe as welt-constructed (or vice versa) can result in duty underpayment and CBP penalties.
Yes. Several 10-digit lines under this heading specifically break out pigskin uppers (e.g., 6403193030 and 6403194030) from other leather uppers. The applicable duty rate can differ between these lines, so the upper leather type must be confirmed with the supplier and documented on the commercial invoice.
