Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If assembled by stitching, riveting, or similar processes
Waterproof rubber/plastics footwear without metal toe-cap but with mechanical assembly falls under other subheadings in 6401.92.
If uppers predominantly of leather
Material of upper is determined by greatest external surface area; leather uppers shift classification to Chapter 64 heading 6403.
If not waterproof
Non-waterproof rubber/plastics footwear with protective features would classify under 6402.91, lacking the waterproof criterion of heading 6401.
