Last updated: April 2026 dataAnkle-to-below-knee waterproof boots with bonded rubber or plastic construction are segmented at the 10-digit level into ski and snowboard boots (6401923000), polyvinyl chloride-specific uppers (6401926000), general rubber/plastic boots without stitching (6401927000), and work footwear and other variants (6401929030, 6401929060) — making material composition and end-use the critical classification variables. China is the dominant supplier, with Vietnam and Dominican Republic also contributing meaningfully to US import volumes. PVC-upper boots (6401926000) warrant particular attention because PVC content thresholds can affect both classification and any applicable Section 301 exposure for Chinese-origin goods. Ski and snowboard boots in this heading are waterproof bonded constructions, distinguishing them from the stitched ski boot lines in Chapter 64's sports footwear subheadings.

The key distinction is construction method: 640192 covers waterproof ski and snowboard boots with bonded or cemented soles and uppers (no stitching through the upper), while 640212 covers ski and snowboard boots with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics that are not required to be waterproof by the bonded/cemented construction criterion. Importers should obtain technical construction specifications from the manufacturer to support the correct heading.
Polyvinyl chloride uppers are called out as a distinct tariff line, which means the duty rate may differ from the general rubber/plastic boot lines. For Chinese-origin goods, Section 301 tariffs apply on top of the base rate, so correctly identifying PVC versus other plastic upper composition directly affects landed cost calculations.
