6403.99.60.50 - With pigskin uppers

This HTS category, 6403.99.60.50, specifically classifies footwear designed for men, youths, and boys that do not fit into more narrowly defined categories within Chapter 64. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the presence of pigskin as the primary material for the upper part of the footwear. The outer sole must be composed of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, aligning with the broader scope of heading 6403.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 6403.99.60.60 ("Other"), by the explicit mention of pigskin uppers. While the sibling category would encompass other "other" footwear for men, youths, and boys under heading 6403.99.60 that do not have pigskin uppers, this specific code provides a dedicated entry for items meeting that precise material criterion. It falls under a general grouping for "Other tennis shoes, basketball shoes, gym shoes, training shoes and the like" but is further refined by the specific upper material.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the combination of the outer sole material, the intended wearer (men, youths, and boys), the general type of athletic or training shoe, and the specific use of pigskin for the uppers. Correct classification under this code requires careful verification of these distinct elements.
