6402.19.30.61 - Other

This HTS category, 6402.19.30.61, covers "Other" footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, specifically within the "Sports footwear: Other: Other: Valued not over $3/pair" designation. This classification applies to sports footwear that does not fall under more specific subcategories of sports footwear but meets the general criteria of having rubber or plastic outsoles and uppers, and a value not exceeding three United States dollars per pair. The key determinative factors are the material composition of the sole and upper, the intended use as sports footwear, and the specified price threshold.

At this level, the distinguishing factor from sibling categories is the lack of a gender-specific designation. While 6402.19.30.31 is designated for men's footwear, this category, 6402.19.30.61, encompasses sports footwear of this type that is not specifically categorized as for men. This implies it would cover similar footwear intended for women, children, or unisex use, provided all other classification criteria, including the value, are met.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories within 6402.19.30.61. Classification at this point is final, relying on the precise interpretation of "other" sports footwear with rubber or plastic components, valued at $3 or less per pair. Importers and exporters must carefully verify the intended purpose and market value to ensure accurate classification and avoid compliance issues.
