Footwear, Headgear, Umbrellas, Walking Sticks and Similar Articles

S12 in the EU Combined Nomenclature groups a wide range of personal accessories, covering all footwear, headgear, umbrellas and walking sticks, together with comparable items such as cane-type supports and protective hats. The chapter includes both knitted and non-knitted products, whether made of leather, textile, plastic, rubber or other materials, but excludes specialised safety shoes or garments that fall under separate headings. It serves as a catch-all for everyday wearable articles.
