6402.19.50 - Valued over $3 but not over $6.50/pair
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS classification, 6402.19.50, pertains to "Other footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics," specifically falling under "Sports footwear" and then "Other" categories. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its value: footwear classified here must be valued at over $3 but not over $6.50 per pair. This pricing threshold is crucial for distinguishing it from other similar footwear.
The primary distinction from its sibling categories lies solely in the monetary value of the footwear. For instance, 6402.19.30 covers similar footwear valued at $3 or less per pair, while 6402.19.70 and 6402.19.90 encompass footwear valued higher than $6.50 per pair. Therefore, the objective valuation is the sole determinant for correct classification within this specific price bracket.
Within 6402.19.50, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the intended wearer. The subcategories, 6402.19.50.31 for men and 6402.19.50.61 for other, allow for more granular tracking and statistical reporting. This demonstrates how even within a specific price range, additional characteristics like gender-specific design or general unisex application can lead to further detailed HTS coding.
