Overview
This HTS classification, 6403.19.70.61, specifically categorizes footwear designed for sports purposes that are not covered by more specific subheadings within the sports footwear category. The outer soles of these shoes are constructed from rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, while the uppers are made of leather. This "Other" designation indicates that the footwear does not fall under specialized sports footwear types with distinct material compositions for the uppers, such as those with pigskin uppers (6403.19.70.31).
To properly classify under this heading, the footwear must be primarily intended for athletic activities and possess leather uppers. The distinction from sibling categories hinges on the specific material composition of the upper. For instance, footwear with uppers of textile materials or other specified leathers, even if intended for sports, would be classified elsewhere.
As a leaf node, this category represents the most granular level of detail for this particular type of sports footwear. Therefore, classification here relies on a careful assessment of the materials used for both the sole and the upper, coupled with the intended athletic use of the shoe, ensuring it does not meet the criteria for any more narrowly defined sports footwear category. Examples could include certain types of general training shoes or multi-sport athletic shoes with leather uppers where no other specific material type for the upper has been identified.
