Upper and outer sole
Identify the constituent material with the greatest external surface area for the upper, plus the outer-sole material. Leather-looking plastic is not leather.

Leather shoes HS code 6403: 2026 footwear lookup
Footwear with leather uppers often begins under HS heading 6403. Do not treat one 10-digit line as a universal leather-shoe code: the outer sole, ankle coverage, protective features, construction, value, intended wearer, and use can all change the U.S. HTS suffix.
HS and HTS classification is fact-specific. Product material, function, technical specs, country-specific tariff schedules, chapter notes, and CBP rulings can change the correct code.
Ankle and protective features
State whether the shoe covers the ankle, has a protective metal toe, is waterproof, or is designed for sports or occupational use.
Construction and value
Welt construction, platform material, open toes or heels, and value per pair can determine the final statistical line.
Wearer category
The U.S. schedule can distinguish men’s, boys’, women’s, girls’, youths’, and other categories after the six-digit level.
Why the displayed candidate needs extra care
The long official description attached to 6403.99.60.75 contains several nested conditions. If your shoe does not meet each relevant condition, compare neighboring provisions rather than reusing the code. Photographs, material percentages, sole composition, construction details, and intended wearer are useful facts for a broker or classification review.
