Summary
Sneakers imported into the United States are usually classified under HS code 6404.11 when the upper is of textile materials and the outer sole of rubber or plastics. It sits in heading 64.04, “Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of textile materials”. Sneakers can also fall under 6403.99, 6403.91, 6402.99 or 6402.91, depending on the upper material and the shoe height. The tariff of the United States has 183 national lines under these codes. The general (MFN) duty in the United States on the national lines under 6404.11 is 10.5%, 7.5%, 37.5% or 48%, depending on the line.
How to choose the right code
What is the upper mainly made of on the outside (the material with the largest outer surface area decides): textile, leather, or rubber or plastics? Use 6404.11 when the upper is of textile materials and the outer sole of rubber or plastics. Use 6403.99 when the upper is of leather, the outer sole is not of leather and the shoe does not cover the ankle. Use 6402.99 when both the upper and the outer sole are of rubber or plastics and the shoe does not cover the ankle.
Does the shoe cover the ankle? Use 6403.99 when the upper is of leather, the outer sole is not of leather and the shoe does not cover the ankle. Use 6403.91 when the upper is of leather, the outer sole is not of leather and the shoe covers the ankle.

Check your exact product
Describe your product, or paste its page, and the classifier suggests the code in the tariff of the United States with its reasons.
Classification depends on the exact product
The right code depends on what the product is made of, how it is made and what it is for, so two products sold as sneakers can fall under different codes.
Guidance from published tariff data, not a binding ruling. For a decision customs must follow, apply to the destination’s customs authority for a binding tariff ruling.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HS code for sneakers?
Sneakers imported into the United States are usually classified under HS code 6404.11 when the upper is of textile materials and the outer sole of rubber or plastics. It sits in heading 64.04, “Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of textile materials”.
Does the upper material change the HS code for sneakers?
Yes. Use 6404.11 when the upper is of textile materials and the outer sole of rubber or plastics. Use 6403.99 when the upper is of leather, the outer sole is not of leather and the shoe does not cover the ankle. Use 6402.99 when both the upper and the outer sole are of rubber or plastics and the shoe does not cover the ankle.
