6402.19.30 - Valued not over $3/pair

This HTS classification, 6402.19.30, specifically covers sports footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, which falls under the broader category of "Other" sports footwear. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its valuation. Goods classified here are priced at not over $3 per pair. This includes a wide array of athletic shoes and similar footwear designed for sports and recreational activities where the materials of the sole and upper are primarily rubber or plastics, and the specific value threshold dictates its placement.

This category is distinguished from its siblings primarily by its price point. For instance, 6402.19.50 covers similar footwear valued over $3 but not over $6.50 per pair, while 6402.19.70 and 6402.19.90 encompass items with higher valuations. Therefore, the precise declared value per pair is the critical factor in differentiating these closely related classifications.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the intended wearer. The subcategories include: 6402.19.30.31 for footwear designed for men, and 6402.19.30.61 for other categories, such as footwear for women, children, or unisex designs. This breakdown allows for more granular tracking and statistical analysis of imported sports footwear within this specific price bracket.
