6402.99.32.60 - For women

This classification, HTS Code 6402.99.32.60, specifically identifies footwear designed for women, which has outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, and falls under the broader category of "Other footwear" not specifically covered by more detailed provisions. The "Protective active footwear" designation further refines its purpose, indicating it is intended for athletic or outdoor activities where a degree of protection for the foot is paramount.

This specific subcategory is distinguished from its siblings by its intended user: "For women" (6402.99.32.60) differentiates it from "For men" (6402.99.32.30). The "Other" sibling category (6402.99.32.90) would encompass footwear of this type not specifically designated for men or women, or potentially for unisex use where the primary design intent isn't gender-specific. The core material composition of rubber or plastic for both the outer sole and upper remains a consistent defining characteristic across these siblings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on correctly identifying the product's intended user (women), its material composition (rubber or plastic sole and upper), and its functional purpose (protective active footwear), ensuring it is not specifically provided for in more detailed headings or subheadings of Chapter 64. Examples within this classification might include women's hiking boots, protective water shoes, or specialized sports footwear made predominantly from rubber or plastic.
