6402.91.70.60 - For women

This HTS classification, 6402.91.70.60, specifically designates footwear designed for women, with outer soles and uppers constructed from rubber or plastics. These are considered "other" footwear not specifically listed in preceding headings within Chapter 64, and they extend to cover the ankle. The "other" descriptor at this level indicates that the footwear does not fall into more narrowly defined categories within the "covering the ankle" subcategory.

The primary distinction for this classification lies in its intended user. It is differentiated from HTS code 6402.91.70.30, which is for men's footwear of the same material and construction, and from 6402.91.70.90, which encompasses other footwear not specifically for men or women. Crucially, this category also applies only to footwear valued over $3 but not over $6.50 per pair, a key determinant for proper customs declaration.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification relies on a precise determination of the item's characteristics, including its gender-specific design, material composition of rubber or plastic for both the outer sole and upper, its height (covering the ankle), and its precise per-pair value falling within the specified range. Any deviation from these criteria would necessitate classification under a different HTS code.
