This chapter does not cover disposable foot coverings of flimsy material (paper, plastic sheeting), toy footwear (heading 9503), orthopaedic footwear (heading 9021), or ski-boots for cross-country skiing. The material of the upper is determined by the constituent material having the greatest external surface area, disregarding accessories or reinforcements such as ankle patches, edging, ornamentation, buckles, tabs, eyelet stays or similar attachments. The material of the outer sole is determined similarly by the material having the greatest surface area in contact with the ground. For the purposes of this chapter, 'rubber' and 'plastics' include woven fabrics or other textile products with an external layer of rubber or plastics visible to the naked eye. 'Leather' refers to the goods of headings 4107 and 4112 to 4114. The term 'textile materials' means fibres, yarns, fabrics and made-up goods of Chapters 50 to 63.
This Section does not cover: (a) articles of plastics moulded to the shape of the foot (flip-flops and similar footlight footwear) which are classified according to their constituent material in Chapter 39; (b) protective footwear fitted with metal toe-caps, classified according to their constituent material; (c) toy footwear or toy headgear (Chapter 95). For the purposes of heading 6406, the expression 'parts' means: soles, heels, uppers and other components, inner soles, outer soles, stiffeners and shanks, but does not include pegs, protectors, eyelets, hooks, buckles, ornaments, braid, laces, pompons or other trimmings (which are classified in their appropriate headings) or buttons or goods of heading 9606.
