6403.99.75.15 - House slippers

This HTS category, 6403.99.75.15, specifically classifies house slippers. These are typically soft-soled footwear designed for indoor use, prioritizing comfort over durability or protection against external elements. The outer soles are constructed from rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, while the uppers are made of leather. The defining characteristic is their intended purpose as casual, indoor footwear.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Other," at the same level involves a specific focus on the "house slipper" designation. While other "Other" categories might encompass a broader range of footwear falling under the general headings, 6403.99.75.15 is reserved solely for items explicitly designed and marketed as house slippers. The value threshold of "Valued not over $2.50/pair" further refines this specific classification, ensuring that only lower-cost house slippers are included here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6403.99.75.15 is therefore dependent on meeting all the preceding criteria: the outer sole material, the leather upper, the "other footwear" and "other" general classifications, the designation for "other persons," and finally, the price point of not exceeding $2.50 per pair. Any house slipper not meeting these specific material and value criteria would need to be classified elsewhere within Chapter 64.
