6404.11.51.60 - For women

This HTS classification, 6404.11.51.60, specifically covers sports footwear designed for women, featuring outer soles made of rubber or plastics. The uppers of these shoes are constructed from textile materials. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is that the footwear is classified as "other" within the broader category of sports shoes (such as tennis shoes, basketball shoes, gym shoes, and training shoes), and its value does not exceed $3 per pair.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, 6404.11.51.30 covers similar sports footwear but is specifically for men. The sibling category 6404.11.51.90, "Other," would encompass sports footwear for individuals other than men or women, or potentially unisex designs not fitting other specific criteria. The crucial distinction for 6404.11.51.60 lies in its explicit designation for "women" and its placement within the "other" category for sports footwear valued below $3 per pair, after considering specific material compositions of the sole and the greatest surface area in contact with the ground relative to additional U.S. notes.

As a leaf node within the HTS, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for correct classification rests entirely on meeting all the preceding criteria: being sports footwear, having rubber or plastic outer soles, textile uppers, a value not exceeding $3 per pair, and being designated for women, while also adhering to any specific material requirements outlined in the subheadings and additional notes of Chapter 64, particularly concerning the outer sole's textile components.
