HS 6401.10 covers Footwear; waterproof with metal toe-cap, rubber or plastic outer soles and uppers (not assembled by stitch, rivet, nail, screw, plug or similar). It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it.

India exported $1.2M under this code worldwide in 2024, ranking #2 of 3 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
6401.10 is the six-digit HS subheading 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.
