HS code 64029990 – Other
This HS code covers various types of footwear where both the outer soles and the uppers are predominantly made of rubber or plastics, not specifically classified elsewhere. It encompasses a broad range of general-purpose and specialized footwear. 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 64029990?
Within Chapter 64, which deals with footwear, this particular subheading 6402.99.90 is for footwear that does not fit into more specific categories under heading 6402, such as waterproof footwear (6402.10) or sports footwear (6402.91). These items are characterized by their construction from rubber or plastic materials for both the sole and the upper, providing durability and water resistance for various casual or utility purposes.
Accurate classification for this 'other' footwear under 6402.99.90 typically requires a detailed examination of the material composition of both the upper and the outer sole, ensuring they are primarily rubber or plastics. Importers should carefully distinguish these items from footwear with textile uppers (Chapter 6404) or those with leather uppers (Chapter 6403), as well as from specialized sports footwear that might have specific design features for athletic activities. The precise technical specifications and intended use of the footwear are crucial for correct classification.

The successor list is split by high and medium risk level instead of by whether state quality inspection applies on import; the central inspection agency is the Department of Employment.

Special FTA preferential duties (2026)

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.
