6403.99.60.40 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 6403.99.60.40, covers a very specific subset of men's footwear. It falls under the broader classification of footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather and uppers of leather. More precisely, it is for "Other" footwear within the "Other" footwear, "Other", "Other," and "Other" categories, specifically for "men, youths and boys" and further refined as "Other" footwear that are not specifically listed as tennis shoes, basketball shoes, gym shoes, or training shoes for men. This category acts as a residual catch-all for men's leather footwear that doesn't fit into the more narrowly defined categories.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 6403.99.60.30, we focus on the upper material. While both are classified as "Other" within the broad category of men's leather footwear, the sibling specifically addresses footwear with pigskin uppers. This current category, 6403.99.60.40, therefore encompasses men's leather footwear where the upper is made of leather other than pigskin and the footwear itself does not fall under the specific descriptions of tennis shoes, basketball shoes, gym shoes, or training shoes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this category is determined by the exclusion of specific sporting shoe types for men and the exclusion of pigskin as the primary upper material, while still meeting the general criteria for leather-upper footwear with rubber, plastic, leather, or composition leather outer soles.
