6404.19.36.30 - For men

This HTS classification, 6404.19.36.30, specifically covers footwear designed for men. These items feature outer soles made of rubber or plastics, and their uppers are constructed from textile materials. The classification further refines these characteristics by including footwear that is either open-toed or open-heeled, or of the slip-on type, meaning they are secured to the foot without the use of laces, buckles, or similar fasteners. Crucially, this specific subheading excludes footwear covered by subheading 6404.19.20 and those with a foxing or foxing-like band made entirely or almost entirely of rubber or plastics applied to or molded at the sole, overlapping the upper.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies in the intended user. While 6404.19.36.60 is designated for women's footwear and 6404.19.36.90 encompasses other categories not specified, 6404.19.36.30 is exclusively for men. All these sibling categories share the same fundamental construction criteria: textile uppers and rubber or plastic outer soles, with the preceding hierarchical levels defining the general type of footwear.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this specific subheading relies entirely on meeting all the detailed material and design criteria outlined above, along with the explicit exclusions and the primary characteristic of being footwear for men. Examples would include men's slip-on canvas loafers with rubber soles, or men's slide sandals with textile straps and plastic soles that fit the specified design parameters.
