6402.19.15.41 - For women

This classification pertains to sports footwear for women, specifically those where the outer sole and upper are primarily composed of rubber or plastics. The key defining characteristic of this category is that over 90 percent of the external surface area of the footwear's upper, including any accessories or reinforcements, must be made of rubber or plastics. Importantly, this exclusion applies unless the footwear features a foxing or foxing-like band applied or molded at the sole that overlaps the upper, or if the footwear is designed as protective gear against water, oil, grease, chemicals, or inclement weather.

This specific HTS code, 6402.19.15.41, is distinguished from its sibling category, 6402.19.15.20, by its designated user. While 6402.19.15.20 is reserved for sports footwear for men meeting the same material and construction criteria, this code is exclusively for the female counterpart. It is also differentiated from the "Other" sibling category at this level (6402.19.15.61) by its defined gender-specific application.

As a leaf node within the HTS classification system, 6402.19.15.41 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code is determined solely by the fulfillment of all preceding criteria: being sports footwear for women with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, where over 90 percent of the upper's external surface area is rubber or plastics, and not falling under the specific exclusions mentioned in the higher-level descriptions. Examples might include women's athletic shoes, trainers, or specialized sports boots made predominantly from these synthetic materials.
