Sourcing this category from India

HS 6402.12 covers Sports footwear; with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, ski-boots, cross-country ski footwear and snowboard boots.

How to read this code

6402.12 is the six-digit HS subheading for sports 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.
