Steel Toe Waterproof Work Boots
The Steel Toe Waterproof Work Boots feature waterproof uppers and outer soles made entirely of rubber or plastics, molded together without stitching or riveting. The uppers cover the ankle but not the knee, and they are designed for work environments. These are not downhill ski-boots, so they do not meet the specific description of tariff item 6401.92.20; they fall under a sibling item for other waterproof footwear.
