Legal and explanatory notes for 6404110000
6404 11 00 CN Explanatory Notes: The term ‘tennis shoes, basketball shoes, gym shoes, training shoes and the like’ of this subheading covers shoes which, by virtue of their shape, cut, look and materials, show that
(a) they are designed for a specific sporting activity that generally requires running, jumping movements, quick turns and abrupt stops or (b) they have a specific design that allows to exercise only a specific sporting activity and this specific design is not suitable for merely walking (for example, freestyle rock climbing shoes, flexible gymnastic or dancing slippers). Examples of the sporting activities are also sailing, squash, table tennis, volleyball. However, footwear designed mainly or exclusively for, for example, white water canoeing, walking, trekking, hiking, traditional mountain climbing is excluded. The sole of the footwear designed for running, jumping, quick turns and abrupt stops must have features to absorb the shocks resulting from the impacts of those movements. Such features would be, for example, air or gas pads especially in the heel part of the footwear. The outer sole must have a specific structure that supports turning or the sole is shaped as a typical running sole (being lower in front than in the heel part). Moreover, the upper of the footwear designed for running, jumping, quick turns and abrupt stops must give stability and balance to the foot when running, jumping, turning or stopping quickly. The material of the upper, its reinforcements, padding and lining may ensure this stability and balance and protect the foot (for example a reinforced toecap to protect the toes).
Notes to chapter 64
Notes 1. This chapter does not cover: (a) disposable foot or shoe coverings of flimsy material (for example, paper, sheeting of plastics) without applied soles. These products are classified according to their constituent material; (b) footwear of textile material, without an outer sole glued, sewn or otherwise affixed or applied to the upper (Section XI); (c) worn footwear of heading 6309; (d) articles of asbestos (heading 6812); (e) orthopaedic footwear or other orthopaedic appliances, or parts thereof (heading 9021); or (f) toy footwear or skating boots with ice or roller skates attached; shin-guards or similar protective sportswear (Chapter 95). 2. For the purposes of heading 6406, the term ‘parts’ does not include pegs, protectors, eyelets, hooks, buckles, ornaments, braid, laces, pompons or other trimmings (which are to be classified in their appropriate headings) or buttons or other goods of heading 9606. 3. For the purposes of this chapter: (a) the terms ‘rubber’ and ‘plastics’ include woven fabrics or other textile products with an external layer of rubber or plastics being visible to the naked eye; for the purpose of this provision, no account should be taken of any resulting change of colour; and (b) the term ‘leather’ refers to the goods of headings 4107 and 4112 to 4114. 4. Subject to note 3 to this chapter: (a) the material of the upper shall be taken to be the constituent material having the greatest external surface area, no account being taken of accessories or reinforcements such as ankle patches, edging, ornamentation, buckles, tabs, eyelet stays or similar attachments; (b) the constituent material of the outer sole shall be taken to be the material having the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, no account being taken of accessories or reinforcements such as spikes, bars, nails, protectors or similar attachments. Subheading note 1. For the purposes of subheadings 6402 12, 6402 19, 6403 12, 6403 19 and 6404 11, the expression ‘sports footwear’ applies only to: (a) footwear which is designed for a sporting activity and has, or has provision for the attachment of, spikes, sprigs, stops, clips, bars or the like; (b) skating boots, ski-boots and cross-country ski footwear, snowboard boots, wrestling boots, boxing boots and cycling shoes. Additional notes 1. Within the meaning of note 4(a), ‘reinforcements’ is taken to mean all pieces of material (for example, plastics or leather) attached to the external surface of the upper to give additional strength, whether or not also attached to the sole. After the removal of reinforcements, the visible material must have the characteristics of an upper and not lining, supporting the foot sufficiently to enable the wearer, with the original fastening systems in place, to walk in the footwear. Account is to be taken of sections covered by accessories or reinforcements when deciding on the composition of the upper. 2. Within the meaning of note 4(b), one or more layers of textile material which do not possess the characteristics usually required for normal use of an outer sole (for example, durability, strength, etc.) are not to be taken into consideration for classification purposes.

EU classification regulations for 6404110000
Commission regulations that classified specific goods under this code. They bind customs in every member state for identical goods.
- 6404 11 00 Jul 27, 2011 · Regulation on EUR-Lex
Footwear not covering the ankle and not identifiable as men’s or women’s footwear, with insoles of a length of more than 24 cm.
The outer sole is made of rubber and the mid-sole of low-density polymers. The upper consist of pieces of textile, leather and plastics. Grey textile material covers the whole surface of the upper with the exception of a piece of white textile (felt) [2 (*1)] at the heel of the footwear (See photo No 655 B). This white textile material is covered by several pieces of grey leather. It is covered mainly by one piece on the heel [C (*1)], and partly by two pieces along both sides of the shoe [D (*1)], and two pieces curved around the instep [B (*1)] (see photo No 655 C). At the furthest end of the heel this white textile material is covered by a piece of black impermeable textile material and a piece of dark grey plastic [b (*1)] sewn on top (see photo No 655 C). The black textile is visible through small openings in the plastic piece. Abovementioned grey textile materials are sewn to each other and attached to the sole. On one side of the shoe two pieces of grey textile are assembled with a zigzag stitching supplemented by a saddle stitch on both sides of the zigzag stitching (see photo No 655 D). The same saddle stitches are fixing a textile strip underneath the two textile pieces to reinforce the assemblage. In the front of the shoe a piece of grey plastic [a (*1)] is covering the grey textile material underneath. On both sides of the shoe pieces of grey leather [A (*1)] are attached to the textile material and, on top of the leather/grey textile material, four vertical straps of textile [1 (*1)] have been added, as well (see photos Nos 655 A and 655 D). In addition one textile strap is attached as a loop to the textile material at the heel of the footwear. (training shoe) (see photos Nos 655 A, 655 B, 655 C and 655 D) (*2)
Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 4(a)(b) to Chapter 64 of the Combined Nomenclature, Additional Note 1 to Chapter 64 and the wording of CN codes 6404 and 6404 11 00 . When identifying the constituent material of the upper within the meaning of Note 4(a) to Chapter 64, no account is to be taken of the grey piece of plastic covering the front of the shoe [a (*1)], because it is protecting the toes by reinforcing the grey textile material underneath. Likewise, no account is to be taken of the four vertical straps of textile [1 (*1)] on both sides of the footwear, because they are reinforcing the sides of the footwear, and of the textile loop at the heel of the footwear, because it is an accessory serving to aid when putting the shoes on. Also likewise, no account is to be taken of the pieces of grey leather attached to the grey textile material on both sides of the footwear [A (*1)], since they are also reinforcing the sides of the footwear. The white textile material [2 (*1)] cannot be considered to be a constituent material of the upper either, because it is not even partly exposed on the outside surface of the footwear (see the CN EN to Chapter 64, General, (1)(a), first sentence of second paragraph). Whereas, the pieces of grey leather [B, C, D (*1)] that are mainly or partly covering the white textile material [2 (*1)] (see photos Nos 655 B and 655 C) qualify as constituent materials of the upper, since their surface is partly or totally exposed on the outside surface and they are neither accessories nor reinforcements. The black impermeable textile material underneath the dark grey plastic material at the heel of the footwear [b (*1)] does not qualify as constituent material of the upper, because it is only an insert that hinders water penetrating through the openings of the piece of plastic. Therefore, the piece of dark grey plastic at the heel of the footwear also qualifies as constituent material of the upper within the meaning of Note 4(a) to Chapter 64. The grey textile materials qualify as constituent material of the upper within the meaning of Note 4(a) to Chapter 64, because they are attached to each other and to the other aboveidentified constituent materials of the upper [B, C, D, b (*1)] by means of a durable method of assembling (see the CN EN to Chapter 64, General, (1) (a), last phrase of second paragraph, together with (1) (c), last phrase of second paragraph). Moreover, the aboveidentified constituent materials of the upper [B, C, D, b (*1) and the grey textile materials] (see photo No 655 C), have the characteristics of an upper, that is to say, provide sufficient support for the foot to enable the wearer to walk in the footwear (see the second phrase of the first paragraph of Additional Note 1 to Chapter 64). After removal of the abovementioned reinforcements and accessories (see photo No 655 C) the grey textile materials have a greater external surface area than the other materials [B, C, D, b (*1)] identified above as constituent materials of the upper and, therefore, the footwear is considered to have an upper of textile materials within the meaning of Note 4(a) to Chapter 64. The part of the sole in contact with the ground is of rubber within the meaning of Note 4(b) to Chapter 64. Thus, the footwear has an outer sole of rubber.

After the removal of the strips of leather and/or plastics-coated textile material, all of which are regarded as reinforcements, the external surface area of the uppers consists entirely of textile material.

- 6404 11 00 Mar 16, 1990 · Regulation on EUR-Lex
Sport shoes (boots) with outer soles of rubber and uppers wholly of textile material on which pieces of leather and decorative pieces of plastic-covered textile material are sewn externally. Leather covers approximately 59 % of the external surface area, while textile material covers approximately 41 % (see photograph No 2) (1)
Reasons
Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Notes 3 and 4 (a) and Subheading Note 1 (b) to Chapter 64 as well as the texts of codes 6404 and 6404 11 00. In effect, disregarding those parts of leather or plastic which constitute an accessory or reinforcement, the area of textile material predominates.
