Overview

This category, HTS 6402, encompasses a broad range of footwear where both the outer sole and the upper are constructed entirely from rubber or plastics. This includes everyday casual shoes, sandals, boots, and other types of footwear that do not fall into more specific classifications based on material composition or intended use. The key defining feature is the unified use of rubber or plastic for the sole and the upper.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS 6402 is distinct from categories that cover footwear made with significant components of leather, textiles, or other materials. For instance, footwear with a rubber sole but a leather upper would be classified elsewhere. Similarly, it differs from categories specifically designated for certain types of specialized footwear.

Within HTS 6402, further subcategories exist to refine the classification. "Sports footwear" is a key subdivision, indicating that athletic shoes designed for specific sporting activities, even if made of rubber and plastic, will be classified separately. Another significant subdivision addresses "Footwear with upper straps or thongs assembled to the sole by means of plugs (zoris)," a specific construction method for certain types of open-toed footwear. The remaining subcategory, "Other footwear," acts as a residual category for footwear of rubber or plastic that does not meet the criteria for these more specific subdivisions.
