Overview
This HTS classification, 6403.51.11.00, specifically identifies footwear characterized by a base or platform constructed from wood. A crucial defining element is the absence of an inner sole, and the lack of a protective metal toe-cap. These are essential criteria that differentiate these specific wooden-soled footwear items from other categories within Chapter 64.
The parent category, "Other footwear with outer soles of leather: Covering the ankle:", establishes a broader context of leather-soled footwear that extends above the ankle. Within this context, the existence of a sibling category "Other:" implies a division of footwear that also covers the ankle but does not meet the specific material or construction requirements of 6403.51.11.00. This node, therefore, isolates footwear where the *primary* platform is wood, distinguishing it from footwear with leather outer soles that might incorporate wooden elements in other ways or possess inner soles and toe caps.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. The classification is granular and specific, encompassing only those wooden-based, ankle-covering footwear items that are devoid of an inner sole and a protective metal toe-cap. Practical classification will rely heavily on the examination of the footwear's construction, particularly the material of its primary supporting base and the presence or absence of the specified inner sole and toe-cap features.
