Last updated: July 2026 dataAt the six-digit NAICS level, 316210 captures the full scope of footwear production establishments in the United States, from athletic sneakers to industrial safety boots. The commercial distinction between leather-soled dress footwear and rubber- or plastic-soled casual or work footwear is critical not only for domestic production statistics but also for matching imports to the correct HTS chapter 64 subheading. Duty rates and trade-remedy exposure vary substantially by construction method and upper material, so aligning NAICS reporting with HTS classification is a routine compliance task for footwear importers and domestic producers alike.

Under HTS Chapter 64, the material of the upper (the part above the sole) is the primary classification criterion.

Yes. Safety footwear with steel or composite toe caps, puncture-resistant soles, or other protective features is included within NAICS 316210 for production reporting. For import purposes, however, such footwear may qualify for specific HTS subheadings that carry different duty treatment than standard footwear, so classification should be confirmed at the HTS level.
