Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 226/2010

US : Informed Compliance Publication on Classification of Footwear

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has recently issued a revised informed compliance publication (ICP) entitled "What Every Member of the Trade Community Should Know About: Footwear". The ICP provides guidance regarding the classification of footwear and footwear parts classified in Chapter 64 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). It is noted that the CBP has revised the HTSUS Chapter 64 exclusions and added footwear definitions to the ICP.

  1. Because of the bulkiness of the ICP, it is not appended to this circular. Interested parties may download it from the CBP's website at http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/trade/legal/informed_compliance_pubs/icp022.ctt/icp022.pdf.
