6404.11.69.60 - For women

This classification, HTS 6404.11.69.60, specifically designates footwear designed for women. These are sports or athletic shoes featuring outer soles made of rubber or plastics, and uppers constructed from textile materials. The defining characteristic within this subcategory is the method of sole attachment: the sole (and any mid-soles) must be affixed to the upper exclusively with adhesive. Furthermore, this classification excludes footwear with a foxing or foxing-like band that overlaps the upper, as well as footwear where the sole overlaps the upper at points other than the toe or heel.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 6404.11.69.30 covers similar athletic footwear but is specifically for men. The sibling category HTS 6404.11.69.90 serves as a catch-all for other footwear that meets the general criteria of this level but does not fall under the specific "for men" or "for women" designations. Therefore, the gender of the intended wearer is the primary differentiating factor at this level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification stops at this specific code, requiring careful adherence to all the outlined criteria regarding sole construction, attachment method, and exclusion clauses to ensure accurate import and export declarations for women's athletic footwear.
