6404.19.49.30 - For men

This HTS classification, 6404.19.49.30, specifically designates footwear for men that meets a detailed set of construction and material criteria. The footwear in this category features outer soles made of rubber or plastics. Crucially, the uppers are constructed from textile materials. The defining characteristic for this sub-classification lies in the method of sole attachment: the soles (and any mid-soles) are affixed to the upper exclusively with an adhesive. This excludes footwear with specific sole constructions like a foxing or foxing-like band that overlaps the upper, as well as soles that extend beyond the upper at points other than the toe or heel.

Within this level of classification, 6404.19.49.30 is distinct from its sibling categories based on the intended wearer and the further breakdown of "other." Specifically, 6404.19.49.60 covers similar footwear for women, while 6404.19.49.90 captures other types of footwear at this granular level that do not fall into the men's or women's categories. Therefore, a key differentiator for this particular code is its explicit focus on men's footwear that adheres to the specified adhesive bonding construction and the absence of overlapping sole features.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 6404.19.49.30. This means that any footwear meeting all the preceding criteria—for men, with textile uppers, rubber or plastic outer soles affixed solely by adhesive, and lacking specific sole overlaps—will be classified directly under this code, provided it also meets the value requirement of not exceeding $3 per pair.
