Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not designed primarily as protective overshoes but as everyday waterproof ankle boots
Waterproof rubber/plastics footwear not specifically for protection over other shoes falls under 6401 as molded/waterproof construction.
If uppers have a dominant textile surface area visible externally
Chapter Note 4(a) bases upper material on greatest external surface; textiles would shift to 6402.99 other non-ankle covering or similar.
If knitted or crocheted construction rather than rubber/plastics uppers
Knitted protective overshoes are classified in Chapter 61 for knitted apparel accessories, not Chapter 64 footwear.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the outer sole and upper are predominantly rubber or plastics by surface area per Chapter Note 4; document material tests to avoid reclassification
• Provide invoices specifying 'overshoes for protection against water or inclement weather' and confirm women's sizing to match the subheading
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as regular boots; ensure no textile layer is visible externally dominating the surface
