Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

If made primarily of knitted or crocheted textile materials with rubber coating
Textile uppers with visible rubber layer classify in Chapter 61 if not predominantly rubber/plastics per Chapter Note 3.
If sold as disposable protective covers without rigid sole structure
Flexible, non-shoe-like overshoes may fall under other footwear with textile/rubber uppers.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Verify the upper is predominantly rubber/plastics visible to the naked eye and not assembled by stitching or riveting per Chapter Note 4
β’ Provide lab tests confirming waterproofing against water/oil/grease if claimed, to avoid reclassification
β’ Label clearly as protective overshoes; common pitfall is misclassifying as regular rubber footwear under 6401.92
