6404.11.81.30 - For men

This HTS classification covers men's footwear that features outer soles made of rubber or plastics, and uppers constructed from textile materials. Specifically, these are sports footwear, such as tennis shoes, basketball shoes, gym shoes, and training shoes. The footwear must fall within a specific price range, being valued over $6.50 but not exceeding $12 per pair. Furthermore, the upper must be composed of vegetable fibers, and the outer sole's textile material must constitute the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, excluding those considered under additional U.S. note 5.

This category is distinct from its siblings primarily based on the intended wearer and, in the case of the "Other" sibling, its specific material composition and value. While 6404.11.81.60 specifically designates similar footwear for women, this classification is exclusively for men's items. The "Other" sibling (6404.11.81.90) would encompass items that do not meet the specific criteria of vegetable fiber uppers with a predominant textile sole contact area, or potentially items outside the defined price bracket if that distinction were to be made at a lower level.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, and goods meeting all the outlined criteria – men's sports footwear with rubber or plastic outer soles, textile uppers of vegetable fibers, and specific sole contact material, priced between $6.50 and $12 per pair – would be classified under 6404.11.81.30.
