About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 6402.99.16.00, specifically categorizes footwear where the outer soles and uppers are constructed from rubber or plastics. The defining characteristic for this particular sub-heading is that the footwear is valued at over $3 but not more than $6.50 per pair. This category applies to footwear that is not otherwise specified within the broader 6402.99 groupings and that incorporates a protective metal toe-cap, distinguishing it from other types of protective footwear.

The critical differentiator for this category lies in its specific price point. It is distinct from sibling categories such as 6402.99.12.00, which covers similar footwear valued at $3 or less per pair, and 6402.99.19.00 and 6402.99.21.00, which encompass footwear valued at higher price thresholds. Therefore, a precise assessment of the declared value per pair is essential for accurate classification under this subheading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification concludes at this level based on the material composition of the sole and upper (rubber or plastics), the presence of a protective metal toe-cap, and the specific valuation range of the footwear. Importers and exporters should ensure all these criteria are met to correctly assign goods to HTS code 6402.99.16.00.
