More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the boots cover the ankle
Footwear with leather uppers covering the ankle is classified under this alternative, provided it lacks a protective metal toe-cap.
If the upper is predominantly textile with leather only as reinforcement
If the upper's greatest external surface area is textile, the footwear falls under sports footwear with rubber soles, not under leather-upper items.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the steel toe-cap meets CSA or equivalent safety standards, as CBSA may request proof
• Declare the leather origin (e.g
• goatskin) accurately to avoid reclassification
• Keep invoices detailing the waterproof membrane, as it does not affect the tariff classification
