Overview
HTS Code 6403 encompasses footwear characterized by outer soles made from rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and crucially, featuring uppers constructed primarily of leather. This category serves as a significant grouping within Chapter 64, which is dedicated to all types of footwear and related articles. The defining criterion here is the presence of leather in the upper material, distinguishing it from footwear where other materials like textiles or synthetic leathers dominate the upper construction.
When considering its siblings within the broader HTS framework, HTS 6403 is distinct from categories focused on live animals (Section I) or other manufactured goods, as it specifically pertains to finished footwear products. Within Chapter 64 itself, this category is differentiated from other headings by its specific material requirements for both the sole and the upper. For instance, it does not include footwear with textile uppers or those where the primary component of the outer sole is not rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather.
The subcategories under HTS 6403 further refine the classification based on specific design features and intended use. For example, sports footwear, while often incorporating leather, will have specialized construction for athletic performance and will fall into a distinct subheading. Other subcategories delineate footwear based on specific sole materials like leather (6403.20.00.00), or the presence of protective metal toe-caps (6403.40), allowing for precise tariff application based on these additional characteristics. This hierarchical structure ensures that even within leather-upper footwear, granular distinctions are made for accurate customs processing.
