6404.19.61.60 - For women

This classification covers women's footwear where the outer sole is composed of rubber or plastics. The upper of the shoe must be made from textile materials, specifically excluding vegetable fibers. Crucially, the outer sole's textile component must have the largest surface area in contact with the ground, and this textile sole material is not considered under the terms of additional U.S. Note 5 of this chapter. The construction method involves soles (or mid-soles, if present) of rubber or plastics attached to the upper solely by adhesive. This excludes footwear with a foxing or foxing-like band overlapping the upper, or soles that extend beyond the upper except at the toe or heel.

This category is specifically for footwear designed for women, differentiating it from the "For men" classification (6404.19.61.30) which covers similar construction and material but for male wearers. The "Other" sibling category (6404.19.61.90) would encompass footwear that does not fit the specific criteria outlined here or for other gender categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is precise, and the focus remains on ensuring all the detailed construction, material, and gender-specific criteria are met for accurate classification. Examples within this category would include women's athletic shoes, casual sneakers, or lifestyle footwear meeting all the specified technical and material requirements.
