6403.99.90.31 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 6403.99.90.31, encompasses footwear for women that are not specifically described in preceding subcategories. These are typically athletic or casual shoes, often referred to as "tennis shoes, basketball shoes, and the like." The defining characteristic for inclusion here is that these women's shoes have outer soles made of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and their uppers are constructed from leather. The "Other" designation within this specific code indicates that the footwear does not fall into more narrowly defined types of women's athletic footwear.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 6403.99.90.21, which specifically covers footwear with pigskin uppers. Therefore, footwear classified under 6403.99.90.31 will have uppers made of leather other than pigskin. The parent categories establish the broad scope of footwear with leather uppers and outer soles of rubber, plastics, or leather, with this node narrowing the focus to specific types of women's athletic or leisure footwear.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on meeting all preceding criteria: being women's footwear, possessing outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, having leather uppers (specifically excluding pigskin as per the sibling category), and falling under the general description of "tennis shoes, basketball shoes, and the like" valued over $2.50 per pair. The "Other" designation at this final level implies a residual category for women's leather-uppered athletic-style footwear that does not fit more precise descriptions.
