6402.99.25.60 - For women

This HTS category, 6402.99.25.60, specifically classifies footwear designed for women that falls under the broader scope of other footwear with outer soles and uppers made from rubber or plastics. The key characteristic is that the external surface area of the uppers is predominantly (over 90%) composed of rubber or plastics, excluding specific designs like those with a foxing or foxing-like band overlapping the upper, or protective footwear for water, oil, chemicals, or inclement weather. Furthermore, this classification is distinguished by footwear constructed on a base or platform made of cork.

Within this specific level, the classification distinguishes itself from its siblings by its intended user. Category 6402.99.25.30 pertains to similar footwear designed for men, while 6402.99.25.90 covers "Other" footwear that meets the general criteria but is not specifically for men or women, nor does it feature the cork platform construction. Therefore, the presence of the cork base or platform is a defining feature for this particular sub-classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification ceases at this point for footwear fitting all the preceding criteria, with specific attention to the materials, construction (including the cork platform), and intended gender of the wearer.
