Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If outer sole is predominantly rubber or plastic
Footwear with leather uppers but rubber/plastic soles (greatest ground contact per Note 4(b)) shifts to Chapter 64 heading 6403.
If uppers have textile as greatest external surface area
Chapter Note 4(a) bases upper material on visible external area; textile-dominant leather-trimmed uppers classify under 6402.
If uppers are textile or rubber/plastics instead of leather
Uppers not of leather or composition leather fall into 6405.20, as leather is strictly defined in Chapter Note 3(b).

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the upper's external surface is predominantly leather (>50% area) per Chapter Note 4(a); provide lab tests if composition leather is used
• Include detailed invoices specifying leather type (genuine vs. composition) and origin to avoid CBP reclassification
