Last updated: April 2026 dataSki boots, cross-country ski footwear, and snowboard boots with leather uppers are classified here, with the US schedule distinguishing welt-construction ski boots (6403123000) from other construction methods (6403126000) in addition to the base 10-digit line (6403120000). Vietnam leads US supply under this heading, with Italy and China also significant — Italy's presence reflecting its heritage role in premium alpine boot manufacturing. The welt-construction distinction is commercially important: welt-sewn ski boots command a premium in the backcountry and telemark segments and may carry different duty treatment than cemented or injection-molded constructions. Importers should confirm upper material composition carefully, as composite uppers with significant synthetic panels may shift classification to heading 6402.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Welt construction involves a strip of leather or other material stitched between the upper and the outsole, a method associated with Goodyear welt or Norwegian welt techniques common in backcountry and telemark ski boots. Importers should obtain manufacturer construction diagrams confirming the welt-stitching method; boots assembled by direct injection, cementation, or other bonding methods without a welt strip classify under 6403126000.
Classification of the upper is based on the material that constitutes the greatest external surface area of the upper. If leather predominates over rubber, plastic, or textile panels on the external upper surface, the boot remains in heading 6403. If rubber or plastic panels exceed leather in external surface area, the article moves to heading 6402. A precise surface-area measurement or manufacturer's material breakdown is the appropriate supporting document.
