U.S. imports of Other Footwear (Not Elsewhere Specified) (HS 640590) totaled $90.6M in August 2026, imported from 101 countries.
Importers of Other Footwear (Not Elsewhere Specified) paid $20.9M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 23.70% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Other Footwear (Not Elsewhere Specified) imports of $90.6M in August 2026 ran 45% above the year-to-date monthly average of $62.5M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataClassified as a true catch-all, this heading captures footwear whose uppers are neither leather nor textile — including rubber, plastic, wood, and other materials — as well as disposable footwear designed for one-time use (6405902000). China and Vietnam are the leading suppliers, with Cambodia, Italy, and Indonesia also contributing. The one-time-use line is commercially relevant for medical, food-service, and cleanroom applications, where disposable shoe covers and booties in non-textile materials land here rather than in Chapter 63 or 39. Importers should confirm that footwear excluded from more specific headings in 6401–6404 genuinely belongs here before using this residual classification.

Footwear designed to be worn on the foot and intended for one-time use classifies in Chapter 64 regardless of material, because Chapter 64 governs footwear as a finished article. Plastic shoe covers or booties that function as footwear — covering the sole and providing a walking surface — belong under 6405902000. Items that are purely protective coverings worn over existing footwear may instead classify in Chapter 39 (plastics) or Chapter 63 (textile articles), so the functional design and construction are determinative.
A material composition breakdown showing the upper and outer sole materials is essential. If the outer sole is rubber or plastic and the upper is also rubber or plastic, the footwear would normally fall in 6402; 6405.90 applies only when the upper material is something other than leather, composition leather, or textile, and the product does not fit a more specific heading. A technical specification sheet from the manufacturer, identifying all component materials and their construction, is the standard supporting document for CBP review.
