American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) to submit their views to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Bureau (CBP) content on the recently enacted U.S. tariff schedule in the notes section added textile materials, rubber or plastic outer soles of footwear explanation.
Since December 3, 2011, if the surface of textile materials used in footwear with outer soles of over 50%, the footwear is the new title 6402 and 6404 developed the 8-digit classification of one (usually the case, if the shoe class textile outsole usually be classified in heading 6402 and 6404). The purpose is to make this change in order to maintain the tariff is neutral, in accordance with the new 8-digit classification, with textile outer soles of footwear, in theory, will continue to be charged a rate of 7.5% or 12.5%.
To cope with this change, CBP has developed a new U.S. Customs Tariff (HTSUS) notes, to ensure that the footwear manufacturers can not be by the end of the shoe textile outside to enjoy this low-tariff provisions.
It is a challenge for the Chinese Skate Shoes manufacturer. It is understood that most of the Chinese shoes enterprises produce soles with textile material. Fortunately, there is enough time for the chinese companies to adjust the mode of production. Perhaps it is another opportunities for the chinese enterprise.
