About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS code, 6402.99.79.90, encompasses "Other" footwear not specifically defined in preceding subcategories, where both the outer sole and the upper are constructed from rubber or plastics. This broad classification applies to footwear that falls outside of more specific descriptions within Chapter 64 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The "Other" designation indicates that these items do not fit into categories such as those for athletic footwear, waterproof footwear, or footwear designed for specific genders like men or women, which are provided for under distinct HTS codes.

The defining characteristic of this category is its residual nature. It serves as a catch-all for rubber and plastic footwear that does not meet the criteria for other more narrowly defined classifications. When classifying footwear under this code, importers must ensure that it does not conform to the specifications for sibling categories such as 6402.99.79.30 (for men) or 6402.99.79.60 (for women), as these codes would take precedence if the footwear meets their respective criteria.

Since this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 6402.99.79.90 is final for footwear that meets the general criteria of having rubber or plastic outer soles and uppers, is not otherwise specified, and falls within the value bracket of over $3 but not over $6.50 per pair. Examples might include simple slip-on shoes, sandals, or clogs made entirely of plastic or rubber that do not possess specialized features or designs typical of athletic, waterproof, or gender-specific footwear.
