6404.19.82.90 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 6404.19.82.90, specifically covers footwear where the outer sole is constructed from rubber or plastics, and the upper is made from textile materials. Within the broader category of "Other" footwear of this type, this particular subheading applies to items valued at over $6.50 but not exceeding $12 per pair. Crucially, these shoes feature uppers primarily composed of vegetable fibers. Additionally, the outer sole must be made of textile materials that constitute the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, excluding any textiles that would fall under the terms of additional U.S. note 5 to this chapter.

The distinction from sibling categories lies in the specific designation of the intended wearer. While 6404.19.82.30 covers similar footwear for men and 6404.19.82.60 is for women, this subheading, 6404.19.82.90, serves as a residual category for footwear meeting all other criteria of the parent but not specifically designated for men or women, or where such a designation is not applicable or determinable according to import documentation.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification into this specific code hinges entirely on meeting all the material, value, and construction requirements outlined, with the "Other" designation serving to capture remaining eligible items that do not fit into the more specific men's or women's categories at this level. Practical application will require careful examination of the footwear's construction, material composition of both the upper and outer sole, and the declared value.
