6403.19.30.90 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 6403.19.30.90, specifically covers "Other" sports footwear for men, youths, and boys, when the outer soles are made of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and the uppers are primarily of leather. This designation is for golf shoes that do not fall under any more specific sub-classifications within the broader category of leather sports footwear for males. It serves as a residual classification for golf shoes meeting the general material and gender criteria but not possessing unique characteristics that would place them in a more narrowly defined HTS code.

The key distinction for this category lies in its exclusion of golf shoes with pigskin uppers, which are classified under the sibling code 6403.19.30.30. Therefore, any golf shoe fitting the broader criteria but not made with pigskin uppers would be directed here. This classification emphasizes the specific material composition of the upper as the primary differentiating factor at this level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions under 6403.19.30.90 will therefore rely on a thorough examination of the footwear's construction, intended use as golf footwear, and confirmation that its outer sole is composed of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, with leather comprising the majority of the upper material, and importantly, that the upper is not made of pigskin.
