6403.99.20.30 - For men 🖩

This HTS classification, 6403.99.20.30, specifically designates footwear for men that features an outer sole constructed from rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, with uppers made of leather. The overarching context within Chapter 64 defines this category as "Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of leather," further refined to "Other footwear," then "Other," and finally "Other." This particular sub-classification focuses on a very specific subset of these leather-uppered and non-rubber/plastic soled shoes.

The crucial distinguishing factor for this category lies in its intended wearer and, importantly, its construction when compared to its immediate sibling categories. While 6403.99.20.60 is designated for women and 6403.99.20.90 encompasses all other footwear within this broader grouping, 6403.99.20.30 is exclusively for men. It is important to note that the preceding levels of classification already filtered for leather uppers and non-fabric/non-plastic outers, narrowing the scope significantly before reaching this specific male designation.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level. Practical application will focus on confirming the male gender designation of the footwear and ensuring it meets all preceding material and construction criteria, such as the leather upper and the specified outer sole materials, to correctly assign it to this specific HTS code.
