Overview
This HTS classification, 6403.19.20.00, specifically covers "Other" sports footwear where the outer sole is made of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and the upper is constructed from leather. This category acts as a residual for sports footwear that does not fall under the more specific "Golf shoes" sibling category. The defining characteristic is the use of leather for the upper combined with a sole made from the specified materials, excluding items explicitly defined as golf shoes.
The primary distinction from its sibling, 6403.19.10.00 (Golf shoes), lies in the intended use and design features. While both share material requirements for the sole and upper, this "Other" category encompasses a broader range of sports footwear not specifically designed for golf. This could include athletic shoes for sports such as tennis, running, or basketball, provided they meet the material and construction criteria outlined.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on ensuring that the footwear in question possesses an outer sole of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and an upper made of leather, and is intended for sports activities without being classified as golf shoes. When encountering ambiguity, consider the overall design and intended purpose of the footwear to determine the correct classification.
