HTS Chapter 64
Footwear Import Tariffs
Footwear faces some of the highest base MFN rates outside of agriculture, ranging from 8% to 48% depending on material and construction. Rubber-soled footwear with textile uppers faces the steepest rates. Section 301 adds 7.5-25% on Chinese-origin footwear and Section 122 adds 10%. Vietnam has overtaken China as the #1 source of US footwear imports, partly driven by the tariff differential. Combined rates from China can exceed 70%.
