Importers of Non-Ankle-Covering Footwear with Leather Uppers and Rubber or Plastics Outer Soles paid $93.2M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $482.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataLow-cut shoes, sneakers, loafers, and house slippers with leather uppers and rubber or plastics outer soles that do not cover the ankle represent one of the broadest and most commercially active footwear categories in US trade. Vietnam leads imports under this heading, with Indonesia and China also major sources, reflecting the dominance of Southeast Asian manufacturing for casual and athletic footwear. The tariff schedule is exceptionally granular — subdividing by construction (welt vs. other), gender, upper material (pigskin vs. other leather), per-pair value thresholds (notably the under-$2.50/pair lines at 6403997515–6403997590), and end-use (house slippers, work shoes, tennis/gym shoes). The per-pair value breakpoints are a distinctive feature of this heading and require accurate invoice pricing to ensure correct line selection.

Several 10-digit lines under 640399 — such as 6403997515 through 6403997590 — apply only to footwear valued below $2.50 per pair. CBP uses the transaction value per pair as declared on the commercial invoice. If the declared value is at or above the threshold, those lines do not apply and the footwear must be classified in the appropriate higher-value line. Accurate per-pair pricing on the invoice is therefore critical to correct classification.
Yes. House slippers have a dedicated line (6403991500) that is separate from work shoes, tennis/gym shoes, and general-purpose footwear lines. The slipper designation typically turns on whether the footwear is designed primarily for indoor residential use, and CBP may consider design features, marketing, and retail packaging in making that determination.
