Overview

This HTS category, 6404.11, specifically encompasses sports footwear designed for athletic activities. It includes common types of athletic shoes such as tennis shoes, basketball shoes, gym shoes, and training shoes. The defining characteristics of footwear within this classification are its outer sole, which must be made of rubber or plastics, and its upper construction, which is predominantly composed of textile materials. This grouping is intended to capture footwear whose primary design and construction are geared towards performance and comfort during various sports and athletic pursuits.

The key distinction of 6404.11 from its sibling category, 6404.19, lies in the specific *type* of footwear. While 6404.19 covers "Other" footwear with textile uppers and rubber or plastic outer soles, 6404.11 is dedicated solely to footwear explicitly designed and recognized for sports activities. This implies a functional difference beyond material composition, focusing on design elements related to athletic performance, support, and traction.

Within this category, further subdivisions refine the classification based on the composition of the footwear's upper. Subcategory 6404.11.20 exists for sports footwear where over 50 percent of the external surface area of the upper (including any leather accessories or reinforcements as defined by note 4(a) to this chapter) is constructed from leather. The subsequent "Other" subcategory would therefore cover sports footwear meeting the 6404.11 criteria but not meeting the specific leather content threshold for 6404.11.20, meaning the majority of the upper is made of textile materials other than leather.
