Six-digit subheading in Footwear, chapter 64 of the Harmonized System, priced here for 6 destination markets.
Anatomy of 640319
You will declare against a longer local code that begins 640319: ten digits in the United States and the United Kingdom, eight in the European Union, and the first six the same everywhere. Which trailing digits apply is what the 6 rates below differ on.
What this code covers
Import duty by country
MFN duty rate · 6 countries| Country | Duty | VAT | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇦🇺Australia | 5% | 10% | |
| 🇧🇷Brazil | 35% | Not modelled, see notes | |
| Consumption tax for Brazil Brazil charges ICMS, IPI and PIS/COFINS on imports and this site does not model any of them, so the tax column shows no figure. ICMS is a state tax and its rate is set by each federative unit, so there is no single national figure to publish. IPI and PIS/COFINS apply on top. This site models none of them and shows no figure rather than a zero that would read as none being due. The duty figure beside it is unaffected. | |||
| 🇩🇪Germany | 8% | 19% | |
| 🇵🇹Portugal | 8% | 23% | |
| 🇬🇧United Kingdom | 8% | 20% | |
| 🇺🇸United States | 0% to 10% | 0% | |
| No single rate for United States United States splits this subheading into 6 national tariff lines and they do not all carry the same duty. Two official readings agree the schedule runs from 0% to 10%, and neither of them names a single rate for the six digit code, so the cell above shows the range rather than a figure from inside it.
Read them at the official tariff. | |||
United States splits this six digit code into national lines that do not all carry the same duty, which is why the cell above shows a range; which line your goods take is a classification decision and it is what decides the duty, so this site shows the range rather than choosing a line for you.
Rates shown are MFN (Most Favoured Nation), the default for WTO members. Preferential FTA rates may be lower with valid proof of origin. Section 301 / anti-dumping surcharges on Chinese-origin goods are not included.
Duty figures on this page have not yet been checked against official tariff schedules and should be treated as estimates.
What that costs: 640319 into United States
An illustrative consignment of 640319 invoiced at USD 2,000.00, priced in USD because a threshold is set in the destination's currency and nothing here is converted.
| Goods value on the invoice | USD 2,000.00 |
| International freight | USD 120.00 |
| Cargo insurance | USD 30.00 |
| Value the duty is charged on, FOB basis | USD 2,000.00 |
| Duty at 10% | USD 200.00 |
| United States charges no consumption tax at the border | USD 0.00 |
| Total, before commercial charges | USD 2,350.00 |
And if the consignment were small
United States relieves nothing: the duty free allowance was suspended, so the duty above is charged whatever the consignment is worth. A smaller shipment pays less because the value is lower, not because a threshold spared it.
Selling rather than buying? USD 2,350.00 is what your buyer in United States pays to take delivery of this consignment, yours to pay if you quote DDP and theirs if you quote DAP: Exporting to United States sets out who collects it and what your invoice has to say.
An illustration, not a quotation: broker fees, handling and any trade remedy on the origin sit outside it. Price 640319 on your own numbers in the duty calculator.

Markets with no figure recorded
Canada: Canada splits 6403.19 into 3 tariff lines and they do not carry the same rate: the schedule returned 0 to 18%. This site served 20%, which is outside that range and matches no line, so the figure was withdrawn rather than replaced: a single percentage cannot represent the split honestly and picking one line to make a number work is not a reading. No Canada figure is recorded and the calculator falls back to its disclosed category average.
What falls under 640319
- Sports footwear with leather or composition leather uppers, other than ski boots and skating boots
- Leather football boots, golf shoes, cycling shoes and studded field footwear
What's specifically excluded
These look similar but belong under a different code:
Commonly confused with
640411: Textile-upper trainers
Upper material moves the code between headings, not just subheadings. A leather-upper football boot is 6403, a knit or mesh running shoe is 6404, and the rates are different in every major market. Modern trainers blend both, and the question customs asks is which material has the greatest external surface area, ignoring accessories and reinforcements.
640399: Other leather footwear
Within 6403 the split is between sports footwear and everything else. A leather sneaker sold as a fashion item is not automatically sports footwear: the nomenclature has a technical definition involving spikes, studs, cleats or provision for attaching them, or a construction intended for a specific sport.
Classification & cost note
Footwear is the most frequently reclassified consumer category at the border, and 6403.19 sits on both of its fault lines at once. The first is upper material, where the test is greatest external surface area measured objectively, which is why a mesh trainer with leather overlays needs measuring rather than eyeballing. The second is the technical definition of sports footwear, which is narrower than the marketing use of the word: without studs, cleats, spikes or a construction specific to a sport, a leather sneaker generally falls to 6403.99 instead. Both mistakes cost real money, since Canada charges 20% and the US 10% on this line.
Typical products: Leather football and rugby boots with studs · Leather golf shoes · Leather cycling shoes with cleat mountings · Classic leather court trainers meeting the sports definition
What the notes to section XII say
Chapter 64 sits in section XII, footwear, headgear, umbrellas, sun umbrellas, walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, riding-crops and parts thereof; prepared feathers and articles made therewith; artificial flowers; articles of human hair, and the nomenclature publishes no note to that section at all, so the note to chapter 64 is the highest rule over this code; that is the published position rather than a gap here, and the chapter 64 page says the same, read from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/sections/12 on 2026-09-08.
What the nomenclature says about heading 6403
640319 is a subheading of 6403, footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of leather , and this site holds one other code under the same heading, which every rule below governs equally.
No numbered note to chapter 64 takes heading 6403 as its subject, which is what the published notes say rather than a gap on this page: the heading is defined by its own wording above and by the note to the chapter, quoted in full on the chapter 64 page.
Read from the notes to chapter 64 published in the UK Trade Tariff by HM Revenue and Customs, at https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/chapters/64, with the heading title from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/headings/6403, on 2026-09-07, with the whole layer and the reason a heading note is a chapter note set out on the chapter 64 page. These notes are part of the international text of the Harmonized System, so the rule is the same whichever destination a shipment is going to, and it decides classification and never a rate.
Questions about 640319
Are all trainers classified as sports footwear?
No. The nomenclature defines sports footwear narrowly, requiring spikes, studs, cleats or similar, or a construction made for a specific sport. A leather sneaker sold as fashion usually falls to 6403.99 instead.
How is a trainer with both leather and mesh classified?
By whichever material has the greatest external surface area, assessed objectively and ignoring accessories and reinforcements. Leather predominant puts it in 6403, textile predominant in 6404.
What is the duty on leather sports shoes?
20% into Canada, 10% into the US, 8% into the EU and UK, and 5% into Australia. Footwear is one of the widest spreads between markets in the whole tariff.
