6402.99.32.30 - For men 🖩

This HTS classification covers protective active footwear designed specifically for men, with outer soles and uppers constructed from rubber or plastics. The "protective active" designation implies footwear intended for activities where a degree of protection against injury or environmental hazards is a primary consideration, such as work boots, safety shoes, or athletic footwear with enhanced protective features. The material composition of rubber or plastics for both the outer sole and upper is a defining characteristic.

This subcategory is distinguished from its siblings by its explicit designation for men. Category 6402.99.32.60 covers similar protective active footwear for women, while 6402.99.32.90 encompasses protective active footwear not specifically designated for men or women. Therefore, the gender-specific nature of the intended wearer is the key differentiator at this level.

As this classification node is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this specific code requires confirmation that the footwear meets the criteria for protective active footwear, is made for men, and has outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 64 and Section XII.
