About heading 6406
Parts of footwear (including uppers whether or not attached to soles other than outer soles); removable insoles, heel cushions and similar articles; gaiters, leggings and similar articles, and parts thereof
Heading 6406 covers parts of footwear rather than finished shoes: uppers and upper parts, outer soles and heels, removable insoles and heel cushions, and gaiters or leggings. The heading splits first by part type: 6406.10 for uppers and upper parts, 6406.20 for outer soles and heels of rubber or plastics, and 6406.90 for all other parts and for gaiters, leggings and similar articles. Within 6406.10 the main break is formed uppers versus other uppers and parts, then by material, with textile uppers further split by value per pair.
