Leather-Patched Textile Chelsea Boots from Germany

These ankle Chelsea boots feature a textile shaft with leather patches and reinforcements totaling more than 50% of the external surface area, and a rubber sole. Under Chapter 64 Note 4(a), the upper's material is determined by greatest external surface area, so leather dominates; however, since the upper is not wholly leather, the item falls under 6404.19.90 as 'Other' footwear with textile uppers and rubber soles.

Import Tips

• Measure the external surface area of the upper, excluding trimmings like laces or buckles, to confirm textile dominance

• Ensure the sole is rubber or plastics

• Keep detailed product specifications for CBSA clearance
