About this HS Code
HS Code 6402 encompasses footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics. The classification includes detailed subcategories for sports footwear (6402.12-6402.19), footwear with upper straps/thongs (6402.20), footwear with protective metal toe-caps (6402.91), and other footwear (6402.99), with further distinctions based on specific design features. This synthetic footwear category includes molded plastic shoes, rubber boots, and athletic footwear with synthetic uppers. Products range from basic injection-molded beach sandals to sophisticated athletic shoes with complex multi-component construction. Technical specifications focus on sole durability, upper flexibility, water resistance, and specific performance characteristics based on intended use. Unlike leather footwear (HS 6403), these synthetic varieties typically offer advantages in water resistance, colorfast properties, and often cost-effectiveness. This division represents both mass-produced basic footwear and technically advanced athletic and specialized footwear incorporating sophisticated design and manufacturing technologies.
