Overview
This HTS classification, 6402.19.30.31, specifically covers men's sports footwear with outer soles and uppers made from rubber or plastics, where the declared value does not exceed $3 per pair. This category is a subset of "Other sports footwear" falling under "Other" subcategories. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the specific gender designation of "for men" and the low-value threshold.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6402.19.30.61, lies solely in the gender of the intended wearer. The sibling category, also valued not over $3/pair, would encompass similar sports footwear but would not be exclusively designated for men, potentially including unisex or women's designs. The core material composition of rubber or plastic uppers and outer soles, as well as the sports purpose, remain consistent across these closely related sibling classifications.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 6402.19.30.31 relies on the definitive presence of the stated physical characteristics (rubber/plastic construction), the intended use as sports footwear, the explicit designation "for men," and the declared customs value falling within the specified low-price bracket. Importers must ensure all these criteria are met to correctly classify their merchandise under this heading.
