Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 64 covers footwear, gaiters and their parts. India is a major footwear exporter, from leather shoes out of Agra, Chennai and Kanpur to the iconic Kolhapuri chappal. Subheadings separate footwear by the material of the upper and outer sole — leather, rubber, plastic or textile — and by construction, each carrying its own duty line.
How to read this code
64 is the two-digit HS chapter for footwear. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many footwear, headgear & umbrellas lines — check our import guides for your market.
