Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If outer sole is rubber or plastics instead of leather
Chapter Note 4(b) bases sole classification on ground-contact material; shifts to 6403.91 for non-leather soles with leather uppers.
If not covering the ankle (below ankle height)
Ankle coverage determines subheading; low-cut leather chukka shoes fall under 6403.59 for other footwear styles.
If imported as separate uppers or soles, not assembled footwear
Heading 6406 covers parts; Chapter Note 3 excludes trims but assembled complete footwear stays in 6403.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify leather content exceeds 50% of upper surface area per Chapter Note 4(a); provide tannery certificates if questioned
• Document sole material as composition leather (ground leather scraps bonded); avoid misclassification as rubber/plastics soles
• Label clearly as 'for adults' to distinguish from child sizes under 6403.51.60; common pitfall is size-based disputes
