HS code 64029920 – Incorporating a protective non-metal toe-cap
This classification covers footwear designed with outer soles and uppers made of rubber or plastics, specifically featuring an integrated protective toe-cap constructed from non-metallic materials. These shoes are typically intended for occupational or safety purposes where toe protection is required. Under Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule: a preferential (MFN) import duty of 30%, VAT of 8/10 and measured in “pair”.
What is HS code 64029920?
Footwear under this designation includes various types of shoes, boots, and other foot coverings where both the outer sole and the upper are predominantly composed of rubber or plastic materials. The defining characteristic for this specific sub-category is the inclusion of a protective toe-cap that is explicitly non-metallic, differentiating it from footwear with traditional steel or other metal toe protections. This places it within Heading 6402, which broadly covers footwear with rubber or plastic components.
For accurate classification in Vietnam, importers must provide clear documentation verifying the construction materials, particularly the non-metallic composition of the protective toe-cap. This distinguishes it from other footwear within Heading 6402 that might lack a protective toe-cap or incorporate a metallic one, which would fall under different subheadings. Technical specifications, product datasheets, or safety standard certifications are often required to confirm these specific features during customs clearance.

A 30% gap - illustrated on a 100,000 USD shipment, that is roughly 30,000 USD saved in import duty.
But only if the shipment has a valid C/O and meets the rules of origin (RVC/CTC, etc.). The wrong C/O form or an RVC shortfall → duty reassessment and penalties at a post-clearance audit.
* The amount is illustrative only, not a commitment. The % gap comes from Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule; the preference actually granted depends on each shipment’s rules of origin.
