Last updated: July 2026 dataItaly dominates US imports under this heading, reflecting the premium positioning of leather-upper footwear in fashion and dress categories; China and Portugal are also significant sources. The US schedule subdivides the heading by wearer — men (6405100030), women (6405100060), and other persons (6405100090) — a distinction that affects both duty rates and statistical reporting. Composition leather uppers, made from bonded or reconstituted leather fiber, classify here alongside genuine leather, so importers must document upper material accurately to avoid misclassification. Footwear that falls under more specific headings (athletic, waterproof, safety) is excluded from this residual category.

Composition leather (also called bonded leather) is made from leather fiber or pulp bonded with a binder and applied to a backing. CBP looks at the material's construction and fiber content; if the upper surface is predominantly reconstituted leather fiber rather than a continuous natural hide, it still classifies here, but importers should retain material composition documentation from the manufacturer to support the declaration.
The three 10-digit lines under this heading (men, women, and other persons) carry separate statistical suffixes and can carry different duty rates. Misassigning the wearer category — for example, classifying unisex styles as 'other persons' when they are marketed to men — can trigger CBP queries and potential redelivery. The determination is based on the shoe's design, sizing, and marketing, not solely on the importer's label.
