6404.11.20.60 - For women

This HTS classification pertains to sports footwear designed specifically for women, featuring outer soles made of rubber or plastics and textile uppers. The key defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is that over 50 percent of the external surface area of the shoe's upper is constructed from textile materials. This category encompasses a wide range of athletic and recreational shoes, such as tennis shoes, basketball shoes, gym shoes, and training shoes, where the primary purpose is athletic activity, and the material composition meets the specified threshold.

This particular classification is distinguished from its siblings by its specific designation for "women." While both 6404.11.20.30 (for men) and this category cover similar types of sports footwear with textile uppers and rubber/plastic soles, the determining factor for classification lies in the intended wearer. The sibling category "Other" (6404.11.20.71) would encompass sports footwear meeting the material and sole criteria but not specifically identified as for men or women, or perhaps unisex designs where gender designation is not a primary classifying feature.

As a leaf node, this classification represents the most granular level of detail for this specific type of footwear. Therefore, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is finalized based on the combination of the footwear's intended use (sports), the material of the outer sole (rubber or plastics), the predominant material of the upper (textile, exceeding 50% of the external surface area), and the gender designation (for women). Precise adherence to these criteria is essential for accurate customs declarations.
