Overview

This HTS classification, 6403.99.90.15, specifically designates "Work footwear" when the outer soles are made of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and the uppers are constructed from leather. This category encompasses footwear designed and intended for use in occupational settings, providing protection, durability, and support for various work environments. Examples include safety boots, construction shoes, and other specialized footwear worn by laborers, tradespeople, and professionals engaged in demanding physical tasks.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6403.99.90.05, which covers "House slippers." While both fall under the broader "Other footwear" heading within chapter 64, house slippers are generally characterized by their lack of robust construction and are intended for indoor, leisure use, lacking the protective features and durability required for occupational settings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 6403.99.90.15. Therefore, the classification is final for footwear meeting the specified material and functional criteria. When classifying items under this code, importers and exporters must ensure that the footwear is explicitly designed for work purposes and possesses the characteristics of occupational footwear, beyond simply being made of leather with the specified sole materials.
