6402.99.90.65 - For women

This HTS classification, 6402.99.90.65, specifically designates footwear designed for women, where the outer soles and uppers are constructed from rubber or plastics. This category encompasses a broad range of casual, athletic, and dress footwear that doesn't fit into more specific subcategories based on material composition or protective features. The "Other" designations at the preceding levels indicate that these items are not specialized work footwear, footwear with metal toe-caps, or those with specific textile or leather components.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its siblings. HTS 6402.99.90.35 is reserved for similar footwear designed for men, differentiating based on gender-specific sizing and design considerations. The sibling category 6402.99.90.95, also an "Other" designation, covers any remaining footwear not otherwise specified within this broad group, potentially including unisex styles or those where the intended gender is not clearly defined or relevant for classification.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level hinges on the confirmed construction of rubber or plastic outer soles and uppers, the absence of more specific material or functional qualifiers found in higher-level headings, and the explicit identification of the footwear as being for women. Examples within this classification might include women's casual slides, beach sandals, certain fashion sneakers, or slip-on shoes, all made predominantly of rubber or plastic materials and valued at over $12 per pair.
