6402.91.90 - Valued over $12/pair

This HTS classification, 6402.91.90, specifically covers "Other footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, other footwear, covering the ankle, other, other, other," and is further defined by being valued at over $12 per pair. This designation encompasses a broad range of footwear where both the outer sole and the upper are primarily constructed from rubber or plastics. The defining characteristic of this sub-category is its higher value point, distinguishing it from other footwear within the 6402.91 range that fall under lower price brackets.

The footwear classified here includes items that extend above the ankle and are not specifically designed for athletic activities like tennis or basketball, nor are they characterized by the more precise value definitions of their siblings. Compared to the sibling categories 6402.91.60, 6402.91.70, and 6402.91.80, this category's primary differentiator is its price threshold. Footwear valued at $12 or less per pair would fall into those respective sibling categories, regardless of other physical characteristics.

The subcategories within 6402.91.90 further refine the classification based on the specific type of footwear. For example, 6402.91.90.05 is designated for athletic shoes such as tennis, basketball, gym, and training shoes, provided they meet the over $12 valuation and other criteria. The remaining "Other" subcategory at this level would capture any footwear that meets the general criteria of this heading and is valued over $12 per pair but does not fit the specific athletic shoe designation.
