6404.19.15.81 - Other

This HTS category, 6404.19.15.81, covers footwear with outer soles made of rubber or plastics and uppers composed primarily of textile materials, where over 50 percent of the external surface area of the upper is leather. This specific classification is for footwear that does not fall under the "for men" or "for women" designations, implying it is intended for other demographics or general use.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6404.19.15.20 (for men) and 6404.19.15.60 (for women), is crucial. While all three share the fundamental characteristics of rubber/plastic outer soles and textile uppers with significant leather content, this "Other" category is reserved for footwear not explicitly designed or marketed for either men or women. This could include unisex designs, children's footwear, or athletic footwear where the gender designation is not the primary classification driver.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies on a meticulous examination of the footwear's physical attributes, ensuring the outer sole is indeed rubber or plastic, the upper is predominantly textile, and the leather component constitutes more than half of the upper's external surface area, while also confirming it is not specifically classifiable as men's or women's footwear.
