6404.19.37.90 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 6404.19.37.90, encompasses "Other" footwear falling under the broader category of shoes with outer soles of rubber or plastics and uppers of textile materials. Specifically, it applies to footwear characterized by open toes or open heels, or to slip-on types that do not utilize laces, buckles, or other fasteners for securement. This exclusion extends to footwear with a foxing or foxing-like band made entirely or almost entirely of rubber or plastics, applied or molded to the sole and extending over the upper.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, HTS Codes 6404.19.37.30 for men and 6404.19.37.60 for women, is the absence of a gender-specific designation. This code captures footwear that meets the material and construction criteria but is not explicitly classified as either men's or women's footwear, or where such a distinction is not readily apparent or applicable based on the physical characteristics.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the practical application of this classification hinges on a thorough assessment of the footwear's physical attributes against the descriptive criteria outlined in the parent headings, particularly the open-toe/heel or slip-on design and the composition and placement of the outer sole and textile upper, while carefully considering the exclusions for specific foxing elements.
