Last updated: May 2026 dataBonded or cemented waterproof rubber or plastic footwear that does not reach the ankle — including overshoes, galoshes, and protective slip-ons — is subdivided at the 10-digit level by coverage height (knee-high at 6401991000), closure type (no-closure overshoes at 6401993000), protective function against water, chemicals, or weather (6401996000), and upper surface composition thresholds (6401998000 for uppers exceeding 90% rubber/plastic external surface, 6401999000 for those below that threshold). Thailand leads US supply under this heading, with China and Mexico also significant sources. The chemical and weather protection subheading (6401996000) is particularly relevant for industrial safety procurement, where documentation of the protective specification may be required by end-use buyers.

Subheading 6401993000 specifically covers footwear designed to be worn over regular shoes in lieu of a closure — classic overshoes or galoshes. The other lines cover standalone waterproof footwear. If the article is designed and marketed as an overshoe slip-on, that functional characteristic drives it to 6401993000 regardless of material composition details.
CBP measures the external surface area of the upper (excluding the sole, accessories, and reinforcements) to determine whether rubber or plastic constitutes more than 90% of that surface. Importers should request material composition breakdowns from manufacturers, as this threshold splits goods between 6401998000 and 6401999000 with potentially different duty rates.
