6402.91.80.21 - Other

This HTS classification, 6402.91.80.21, covers a specific type of men's footwear characterized by outer soles and uppers made of rubber or plastics, designed to cover the ankle. The "Other" designation indicates that these are not specialized types of footwear like work footwear, which is classified under a sibling category. Crucially, these boots fall within a price bracket of over $6.50 but not exceeding $12 per pair, distinguishing them from other footwear in the same broad category based on their declared customs value.

The primary distinguishing factor for this subcategory, "Other: For men:", is that the footwear is intended for male wearers, a common segmentation within footwear classifications. The preceding "Other" and "Valued over $6.50 but not over $12/pair" further refine the scope, excluding footwear valued outside this specific price range or those falling under more precisely defined categories at higher levels of the tariff schedule. This precise grouping ensures accurate duty assessment and statistical tracking of men's rubber or plastic ankle footwear within this particular economic value bracket.

As a leaf node, 6402.91.80.21 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies on meeting all the preceding criteria: being other footwear with rubber or plastic outer soles and uppers, covering the ankle, not specifically work footwear, intended for men, and falling within the specified price range. Examples of footwear that would fall here include generic men's rubber boots, rain boots, or casual ankle boots made from plastic materials, provided they meet the value threshold.
