6402.19.90.61 - Other

This HTS category, 6402.19.90.61, specifically covers "Other" footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, falling under the broader classification of sports footwear and other sports footwear. The defining characteristic for this specific sub-classification is that the footwear must be valued at over $12 per pair. This means that while the material composition and intended use (sports activities) align with the parent categories, the monetary value is the primary differentiator for goods classified here.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6402.19.90.31 ("For men"), is crucial. While both fall under "Other" sports footwear valued over $12/pair, the sibling specifically pertains to men's footwear. This category, 6402.19.90.61, encompasses all other sports footwear meeting the material and value criteria that are not specifically for men. This would include footwear for women, children, or unisex designs, provided they meet all other classification requirements and their value exceeds $12 per pair.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this node rests on the specific details of the footwear's construction (outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics), its intended use as sports footwear, and critically, its declared value. Importers must ensure accurate valuation to correctly assign goods to this category, differentiating them from similar items valued at or below $12 per pair, or from non-sports footwear.
