These hiking boots feature uppers and outer soles made predominantly of rubber or plastics, cover the ankle, and incorporate a protective metal toe-cap for industrial safety. Valued over $12/pair, they are classified under HTS 6402.91.30.00 due to their outer sole material in contact with the ground being rubber/plastics and the metal toe-cap distinguishing them from non-safety footwear.

Import Tips
• Verify the protective metal toe-cap meets ASTM F2413 standards and provide certification documentation to Customs
• Measure value per pair excluding inner sole or packaging to confirm over $12 threshold; common pitfall is miscalculating unit value
• Label fiber content if any textile in upper exceeds 5% and ensure country of origin marking on visible surfaces
