6404.19.52.90 - Other

This HTS category, 6404.19.52.90, encompasses footwear with outer soles of rubber or plastics and textile uppers, specifically excluding categories designated for men or women. The defining characteristic of this "Other" subcategory is its lack of a specific gender designation, meaning it applies to footwear not explicitly classified as for male or female wear. This can include footwear intended for general use, unisex designs, or items where gender-specific classification is not applicable or feasible.

Crucially, this classification is distinguished from its siblings, 6404.19.52.30 (For men) and 6404.19.52.60 (For women), by its catch-all nature for footwear that does not fit into these gender-specific groupings. When classifying footwear under chapter 64, it is imperative to first determine if a specific gender classification is appropriate before resorting to this residual category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification determination for items falling under 6404.19.52.90 relies entirely on the explicit exclusion from the "For men" and "For women" classifications, while still meeting the broader criteria of having textile uppers and outer soles of rubber or plastics, and being valued not over $3 per pair. The physical construction and material composition as defined by the parent categories remain the primary determinants.
