Commodity Code
Description

Overview

Category 6402.19 encompasses sports footwear with outer soles and uppers made of rubber or plastics, excluding specific categories like ski boots, cross-country ski footwear, and snowboard boots. This classification is reserved for sporting shoes that do not fit into the more specialized sibling category (6402.12) and are designed for athletic activities. The defining characteristic remains the combination of rubber or plastic outer soles and uppers, a common feature across several HTS headings related to footwear.

This category serves as a catch-all for sports footwear where the primary materials of both the outer sole and the upper are rubber or plastic, but which do not meet the specific criteria for other, more narrowly defined sports footwear categories. It is crucial to examine the design and intended use to correctly distinguish these items from non-sporting footwear falling under broader categories within 6402.

Subcategories within 6402.19 further refine the classification based on the material composition of the upper. One subdivision addresses footwear where over 90 percent of the external surface area of the upper is composed of rubber or plastics, with specific exclusions for certain types of sole attachments and protective footwear. The remaining "Other" subcategory captures sports footwear with rubber or plastic uppers that do not meet this high percentage threshold, or that are specifically designed for protection against water, oil, chemicals, or inclement weather.
