6403.59.90 - For other persons

This HTS category, 6403.59.90, encompasses footwear with outer soles of leather and uppers of leather, which do not fall under more specific subheadings within the 6403.59 designation. It is specifically reserved for footwear not intended for men, youths, or boys. The crucial determinant for classification here is the absence of a specific designation for male wearers, distinguishing it from its sibling category.

The parent category 6403.59.00 broadly covers other footwear with outer soles of leather, implying that this specific code targets a residual group not otherwise detailed. By excluding footwear explicitly designated for men, youths, and boys (6403.59.60), this subheading ensures that footwear for other demographic groups, primarily women, is accurately captured.

Within this category, further subclassification exists to refine the classification. The presence of subcategories like "For women" indicates that the intended wearer is a key differentiating factor at lower levels of the tariff schedule. These subdivisions allow for more precise tracking and statistical reporting of imported and exported goods based on gender and style variations within this broader "other persons" classification.
