6402.99.49.60 - For women

This HTS classification, 6402.99.49.60, specifically designates footwear intended for women. It falls under the broader category of other footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, which are not otherwise specified. This category encompasses a wide array of shoe types that are not explicitly covered by more specific headings within Chapter 64. The key defining elements are the materials of the outer sole and upper, which must be rubber or plastics.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, consider the intended user. While 6402.99.49.40 is designated for men's footwear, this classification is exclusively for women's footwear. The sibling category 6402.99.49.80, "Other," captures any footwear within this sub-heading that is neither specifically for men nor for women. Therefore, precise identification of the intended wearer is crucial for correct classification.

As a leaf node, 6402.99.49.60 does not have further subdivisions. Classification at this level requires careful examination of the footwear's construction and design, ensuring it meets all preceding criteria, including having an open toe or heel, being slip-on, and not possessing a foxing or foxing-like band that wholly or almost wholly of rubber or plastics applied or molded at the sole and overlapping the upper. The primary differentiator at this final stage is the designation for women.
