Other parts for footwear, gaiters and shin guards
Excluding specified parts
This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU, pick a 10-digit line below.
This code covers parts for footwear, gaiters, shin guards and similar goods that are not the specifically excluded parts. It excludes outer soles of leather, composition leather, rubber or plastic; heels of rubber or plastic; uppers and their parts except reinforcements; removable accessories; and general parts made of asbestos. In the tariff, composition leather is material made from leather or leather fibres pressed into sheets; goods whose outer surface is plastic sheeting or textile, often sold as vegan leather, are classified under other codes.

Before you use the code
Check the facts that sit outside the code
The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.
- The product and its form Check that your product really matches this description, including what it is made of and the form it arrives in.
- Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
- Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.
On an EU import declaration
Pick the 10-digit line that matches the goods.
3 import lines
When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration needs a 10-digit code. Under 6406 90 90 the EU tariff has 3 lines, each with its own wording.
You or your customs agent pick the line whose wording fits the goods; the last line, "Other", covers what none of the specific wordings describe.
The standard duty rate is the same on every line.
- Match the whole wording A line is its own wording plus the grouping text above it. Read both before you settle on one.

Rates, origin and documents
Read the signals first. Open only the ones you want to check.
Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.

Restrictions and paperwork
Important
Import restrictions are recorded for goods originating in:
- Ukraine
- any country
The EU records document conditions on this code. What customs may ask for depends on where the goods come from, exactly what the product is and the customs procedure.
Proof of origin 2 conditions
If you claim a lower rate for goods from a country the EU has a trade agreement with, customs asks for proof of origin, for example a EUR.1 certificate or an origin declaration.
Show the EU's own wording for these conditions
- Movement certificate EUR.1
- Invoice declaration or origin declaration made out by any exporter on invoice or any other commercial document
Sanctions and restricted regions 2 conditions
Some conditions come from EU sanctions rules. They matter when the goods are linked to a country or region the EU restricts trade with.
Show the EU's own wording for these conditions
- Goods not originating from or destined to Crimea or Sevastopol (Articles 2 and 2b.1 of Council Regulation (EU) No 692/2014)
- Goods not originating from or not destined for the non-government controlled areas of Ukraine in the oblasts of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia
Other conditions 1 condition
These conditions match none of the groups above. Whether customs asks for one depends on the goods, where they come from and the customs procedure.
Show the EU's own wording for this condition
- Other than cats and dogs fur as mentioned by Regulation (EC) No 1523/2007 (OJ L 343)
