6402.91.42.60 - For women

This HTS classification covers footwear specifically designed for women, falling under the broader category of other footwear with outer soles and uppers made of rubber or plastics. These items are characterized by their construction, where the outer sole and a significant portion or entirety of the upper are formed from rubber or plastic materials. Crucially, this category encompasses footwear that covers the ankle but is not otherwise specified.

The distinction from sibling categories lies in the intended wearer. While 6402.91.42.30 is for men and 6402.91.42.90 covers other applications, this specific subheading is exclusively for footwear manufactured for women. The footwear must also meet the specific height requirement of not exceeding 15.34 cm from the bottom of the outer sole to the top of the upper, and exclude protective active footwear with waterproof molded bottoms or cold-weather insulation features.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the accurate assessment of the material composition of the sole and upper, the presence of ankle coverage, the intended gender of the wearer, and adherence to the specified height and insulation exclusion criteria. Examples include women's rain boots, ankle-height rubber or plastic casual shoes, and certain types of women's outdoor footwear that meet these precise specifications.
