Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designed for sporting activity with provisions for spikes, cleats or similar
Subheading note 1 reclassifies true sports footwear like with cleat attachments to 6402.12 regardless of infant size.
If outer sole predominantly leather despite rubber/plastic upper
Chapter Note 4(b) determines sole by ground contact area; leather soles direct to 6403 even with plastic uppers.
If constructed primarily of leather uppers from headings 4107/4112-4114
Leather definition in Chapter Note 3 sends qualifying leather footwear to 6403, not rubber/plastics Chapter 64 headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Not sports footwear unless with spikes/cleats (subheading note); emphasize casual use in invoices to avoid 6402.12 misclassification
• Provide surface area calculations and material breakdowns; CBP often audits high rubber content claims
• Ensure no 'protective against water/oil' marketing if it risks overshoe exception exclusion
