6404.11.79.90 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 6404.11.79.90, covers "Other" footwear that falls under the broader classification of sports footwear with outer soles of rubber or plastics, and uppers of textile materials, valued over $3 but not over $6.50 per pair. Specifically, it includes athletic shoes and similar items designed for sports or recreational activities that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the "Other" grouping. The defining characteristic is the exclusion from more precisely defined categories based on gender or specific sports types.

This category serves as a residual classification for sports footwear fitting the material and price criteria but lacking the specific descriptors found in sibling categories. For instance, while sibling categories might distinguish between footwear intended for men (6404.11.79.30) or women (6404.11.79.60), this subcategory captures items not explicitly categorized by gender. It is important for importers and exporters to carefully review the full details of their product to ensure it is not more appropriately classified under a more specific sports footwear heading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification into 6404.11.79.90 relies on a comprehensive assessment of the footwear's intended use as sports or athletic wear, the composition of its outer sole (rubber or plastics) and upper (textile materials), and its per-pair value falling within the specified range. Any items that meet these primary criteria and are not designated for a more specific classification are directed here.
