6404.11.81.60 - For women

This HTS classification, 6404.11.81.60, specifically designates footwear designed for women. These shoes feature outer soles constructed from rubber or plastics, and their uppers are made from textile materials. Crucially, this subcategory encompasses footwear that is valued at over $6.50 but not exceeding $12 per pair. The upper material must be derived from vegetable fibers, and the outer sole must have textile materials comprising the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, excluding any considerations under additional U.S. note 5 of this chapter.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6404.11.81.30, which covers similar footwear for men, is the intended gender of the wearer. Furthermore, 6404.11.81.90 represents "other" footwear within this price and material bracket that does not fit the specific criteria for men's or women's categories. The "Other" designation under the sports footwear heading indicates these are general athletic or leisure shoes, not specifically designed for competitive sports like tennis or basketball, but rather for general training and athletic activities.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying footwear that meets all the preceding criteria: outer soles of rubber or plastics, textile uppers of vegetable fibers, a price point between $6.50 and $12 per pair, and specific outer sole textile construction as detailed. This precise definition ensures correct import and export declarations for these particular women's textile athletic or leisure shoes.
