6404.11.59.00 - Other

This classification, HTS 6404.11.59.00, covers "Other" footwear that falls under the broader category of sports footwear with outer soles of rubber or plastics and uppers of textile materials. Specifically, this subheading applies to sports shoes like tennis shoes, basketball shoes, gym shoes, and training shoes that do not fit into more narrowly defined subcategories within the sports footwear grouping. The key characteristics are the combination of textile uppers, rubber or plastic outer soles, and their intended use for athletic or recreational activities.

This "Other" category is distinct from its sibling, 6404.11.51, which specifically enumerates sports footwear with uppers of vegetable fibers and outer soles where textile materials constitute the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, excluding certain provisions of additional U.S. note 5. Therefore, HTS 6404.11.59.00 is for sports footwear that, while meeting the general criteria of textile uppers and rubber/plastic soles, does not possess the specific material combinations or structural features of the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories branching from 6404.11.59.00. The classification is complete at this level, encompassing any remaining sports footwear of this material construction and purpose that has not been specifically detailed in preceding subheadings. This implies that any sports shoe with a textile upper, a rubber or plastic outsole, and not otherwise specified will find its classification here, provided it meets the value requirement of not exceeding $3 per pair as indicated by the parent category.
