U.S. imports of sports footwear with rubber or plastic soles & uppers (excluding ski boots) (HS 640219) totaled $57.0M in April 2026, traded with 54 countries.
Importers of Sports Footwear with Rubber or Plastic Soles & Uppers (Excluding Ski Boots) paid $10.9M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $57.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAthletic and sports footwear — excluding ski and snowboard boots — with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics is one of the most heavily subdivided segments in Chapter 64, with US tariff lines stratified by upper surface composition (greater than 90% plastic external surface), gender, and per-pair value brackets ranging from under $3 to over $12. Vietnam leads US import supply under this heading, followed by China and Indonesia, reflecting the broad shift of athletic footwear production to Southeast Asia. Goods of Chinese origin remain subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin verification and supply-chain diversification a persistent concern for athletic footwear importers. Golf shoes are separately called out at the 10-digit level (6402190530, 6402190560, 6402190590) for men, women, and youth, requiring importers to confirm end-use designation when classifying multi-purpose athletic styles.

The US tariff schedule under 640219 assigns distinct 10-digit lines based on the transaction value per pair (e.g., under $3, $3–$6.50, $6.50–$12, over $12). The applicable line is determined by the customs value per pair as declared on the commercial invoice. Importers should ensure that invoice pricing reflects the actual transaction value and be prepared for CBP to challenge value declarations that appear inconsistent with market norms for the product type.
Heading 640219 is reserved for footwear designed for a sporting activity, typically evidenced by features such as cleats, spikes, specialized outsole patterns for traction, or construction optimized for a specific sport. Fashion-athletic or lifestyle sneakers that mimic sports styling but lack functional sport-specific features are generally classified under 640299. CBP may request design specifications or marketing materials to confirm the sporting-use designation.
