6404.11.71.60 - For women

This classification specifically pertains to women's sports footwear where the outer sole is composed of rubber or plastics, and the upper is constructed from textile materials. Crucially, these shoes are further defined by their value, falling within the range of over $3 but not exceeding $6.50 per pair. The uppers must be made of vegetable fibers, and the outer soles must also incorporate textile materials, with these textile materials constituting the largest surface area in contact with the ground, excluding those specifically addressed under additional U.S. Note 5 of this chapter.

This category is distinguished from its siblings primarily by the intended wearer and the specific material composition of the sole. While 6404.11.71.30 covers similar footwear for men, and 6404.11.71.90 encompasses "other" footwear that does not meet the specific criteria of this "for women" designation, this classification isolates women's athletic shoes meeting the defined material and value thresholds. The emphasis on vegetable fiber uppers and textile-soled construction, in conjunction with the price point, are key differentiating factors.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under this specific code. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes remains on accurately identifying footwear that meets all the preceding criteria: sports footwear with rubber or plastic outer soles and textile uppers, valued between $3 and $6.50 per pair, featuring vegetable fiber uppers, and having textile components on the outer sole that form the largest contact area, as stipulated by the notes to this chapter.
