6402.91.90.35 - Other

This HTS classification, 6402.91.90.35, pertains to "Other" footwear for men, specifically those with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, covering the ankle, and valued at over $12 per pair. This broad residual category captures a wide array of men's footwear that does not fit into more specific classifications within heading 6402. Examples include casual boots, fashion boots, and athletic-inspired footwear, provided they meet the material, construction, and value thresholds.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6402.91.90.10 "Work footwear," is crucial. While both are men's footwear with rubber or plastic components covering the ankle and exceeding $12 per pair, this classification excludes footwear primarily designed and intended for occupational use, such as safety boots or specialized work shoes. The "Other" designation here implies general-purpose footwear rather than duty-specific items.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into 6402.91.90.35 is final for eligible footwear meeting all preceding criteria. Importers should carefully review the physical characteristics, intended use, and retail price of the footwear to ensure accurate classification, particularly in differentiating it from "Work footwear" and other potentially applicable categories within heading 6402.
