Last updated: July 2026 dataRubber- or plastics-soled ankle boots and high-tops with leather uppers — including work boots, tennis-style high-tops, and fashion ankle footwear — are classified here, making this one of the most commercially significant and tariff-line-dense headings in Chapter 64. Vietnam leads US supply, followed by China and Cambodia, reflecting the concentration of athletic and casual footwear manufacturing in Southeast Asia. The schedule distinguishes work footwear, tennis/basketball shoes, and other footwear across multiple gender and construction breakouts, with pigskin uppers again carved out at the 10-digit level. Importers of work boots should be aware that the work footwear lines (e.g., 6403913010, 6403916010) carry specific duty treatment separate from athletic or casual ankle footwear.

CBP generally looks to whether the footwear is designed and marketed for occupational use, considering features such as reinforced construction, slip-resistant soles, and safety certifications. The work footwear lines (such as 6403913010 and 6403916010) are distinct from the tennis/basketball and general-purpose lines, so importers should retain product descriptions, marketing materials, and any safety certifications to support the classification.
CBP may examine product names, marketing materials, and physical characteristics such as cushioning, ankle support design, and sole pattern. Footwear marketed and designed for court sports falls into the tennis/basketball lines, while general-purpose ankle boots with rubber soles fall into the 'other' lines — a distinction that can affect the applicable duty rate.
