6403.40.60.00 - Other

This HTS category, 6403.40.60.00, encompasses "Other" footwear that features an outer sole made of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and uppers constructed from leather. Critically, these articles must also incorporate a protective metal toe-cap, signifying their intended use in environments where foot protection is paramount.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6403.40.30, which specifically covers "Welt footwear" with the same outer sole and leather upper characteristics, and also incorporates a protective metal toe-cap. While both fall under the umbrella of protective footwear, this "Other" classification is for items that do not meet the specific construction criteria of welted footwear. Examples might include footwear constructed using cementation, injection molding, or other methods not defined as welted.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for footwear meeting the aforementioned material and protective toe-cap criteria, and not specifically falling under the "Welt footwear" designation at the same level.
