6403.99.60.90 - Other

This HTS category, 6403.99.60.90, encompasses "Other" footwear for men, youths, and boys, specifically falling under the broader classification of footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and uppers of leather. It represents a residual classification for men's, youths', and boys' leather footwear that does not fit into more specific subcategories within the "Other footwear" and "Other" divisions. This designation is applied when other, more precise classifications based on specific types of construction, intended use (e.g., sports footwear), or material combinations for the outer sole and upper are not applicable.

Within the "Other" footwear category for men, youths, and boys, this particular subcategory distinguishes itself from the sibling category "For men:" by encompassing footwear specifically designed and sized for all male age groups, including youths and boys, in addition to adult men. The "Other" designation at this level signifies that further distinctions based on detailed construction or specific features have not been made, leading to its placement in this residual category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification of goods under 6403.99.60.90 relies heavily on the explicit exclusion from more specific classifications. Importers and exporters should ensure that all other applicable HTS headings and subheadings have been thoroughly reviewed before assigning goods to this residual category, focusing on the foundational criteria of leather uppers and specified outer sole materials.
