If not welt constructed
Non-welt footwear with pigskin uppers and metal toe-caps falls under the general 'other footwear' subheading.
If uppers are other leather like cowhide

If sold as separate upper components
Parts of footwear, excluding soles, are classified in 6406 only if not assembled; uppers alone go to Chapter 64 other headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify pigskin upper via lab testing for tannage and surface area dominance to avoid reclassification as other leathers
• Include safety certification docs for metal toe-cap; declare welt construction explicitly on entry forms
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling composite soles—document rubber as primary ground contact material
