6403.91.30.10 - For men

This HTS category, 6403.91.30.10, specifically classifies men's footwear that features an outer sole composed of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and an upper constructed from leather. The "Other footwear" designation indicates that these shoes do not fall into more specific subcategories within Chapter 64 that might define them by their primary function (e.g., sports footwear). Furthermore, the "Covering the ankle" and "Other" sub-classifications point to designs that extend above the ankle bone but are not otherwise specifically defined.

The defining characteristic that distinguishes this category from its sibling, 6403.91.30.25 "Other," lies in its specific construction method. This code denotes "Welt footwear," a technique where the upper and sole are sewn together using a welt strip. This contrasts with other manufacturing methods that would be captured under the broader "Other" sibling category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 6403.91.30.10 requires a thorough assessment of the footwear's materials (leather upper, specific sole materials) and its construction method (welting) to ensure accurate customs declaration. The emphasis is on men's footwear that meets these specific criteria and does not fit more narrowly defined categories.
