6404.19.37.30 - For men

This HTS classification covers footwear specifically designed for men. These shoes feature outer soles made of rubber or plastics, and their uppers are constructed from textile materials, excluding vegetable fibers. A key characteristic of this category is that the outer soles possess textile materials that constitute the greatest surface area in contact with the ground. It's important to note that these textile sole components are not considered under the terms of Additional U.S. Note 5 to Chapter 64.

This subcategory is distinguished from its siblings by its intended wearer. While 6404.19.37.60 pertains to footwear for women and 6404.19.37.90 covers all other types not specifically for men or women, this particular classification is exclusively for men's footwear meeting the material and construction requirements. The common parent categories emphasize footwear with rubber or plastic outer soles and textile uppers, and this node refines that by specifying the gender of the intended user and the nature of the sole's textile component.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition of men's footwear that meets the described material composition of textile uppers (non-vegetable fiber), rubber or plastic outer soles with the greatest ground contact surface area composed of textile material (excluding considerations under Additional U.S. Note 5), and excludes footwear of subheading 6404.19.20, as well as footwear with a foxing or foxing-like band of rubber or plastics that overlaps the upper.
