Men's leather Oxford shoes, Derby shoes, and brogues with leather uppers are classified under 6403. The exact subheading depends on whether the shoe covers the ankle (6403.51) or not (6403.59), and on the gender designation. Shoes covering the ankle are 6403.51; those that do not are 6403.59. Split-leather uppers (suede) are still classified as leather uppers. Shoe trees and shoe polish are not footwear. Anti-dumping duties from certain origins (particularly China and Vietnam for certain types) may apply in addition to the MFN rate.
