6402.91.50.50 - Other

This HTS classification, 6402.91.50.50, specifically covers women's protective footwear designed to be worn over other footwear or in lieu of regular footwear. The primary purpose of these items is to shield the wearer's feet from specific environmental hazards. This includes protection against water, oils, grease, and various chemicals. Additionally, this category encompasses footwear intended for cold or inclement weather, offering an extra layer of insulation or weather resistance.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Work footwear" (6402.91.50.45). While work footwear may offer some protection, the defining characteristic of this category is its explicit design as an overshoe or supplementary footwear specifically for environmental protection, rather than general occupational safety or durability. The focus here is on external protection against elements or substances that could damage or contaminate the wearer's primary footwear or feet.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 6402.91.50.50 hinges on the stated protective purpose and material characteristics of the footwear, ensuring it is designed to be worn as an outer layer for the enumerated protective functions for women.
