Questions
HS code 640340: common questions
What is HS code 640340?
HS code 640340 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of leather : Other footwear, incorporating a protective metal toecap". The first two digits (64) are the chapter — Footwear, gaiters and the like; parts of such articles — and digits 3-4 (6403) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 640340?
Common products classified under 640340 include steel-toe boots, safety boots, work boots, metal-toe shoes, protective footwear and similar items matching other footwear. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 640340?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 640340 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (640340) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
