Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If outer sole made of leather or composition leather
Chapter hierarchy prioritizes outer sole material; leather soles move to 6403 regardless of textile upper.
If knitted or crocheted construction rather than woven
Knitted textile uppers fall under Chapter 61 for knitwear, not Chapter 64 woven or non-knit footwear.
If for women or youth sizes
Gender-specific subheading 6404.19.57 applies only to men; others go to parallel female/youth codes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct surface area measurements for uppers and soles per chapter notes 4(a) and 4(b) to substantiate classification
• Avoid marketing as waterproof or sports footwear to prevent scrutiny under sports or protective subheading notes
• Use commercial invoices specifying exact value and material breakdowns to prevent undervaluation disputes
