6404.19.87.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 6404.19.87.90, encompasses footwear with outer soles of rubber or plastics and uppers of textile materials, excluding those made from vegetable fibers. Specifically, it covers shoes within this construction type that are valued over $6.50 but not over $12 per pair. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is that the outer sole, composed of rubber or plastics, is paired with uppers made from textile materials other than vegetable fibers. Furthermore, the outer soles must feature textile materials that constitute the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, provided these textile sole materials are not accounted for under the terms of additional U.S. note 5 to Chapter 64.

This category distinguishes itself from its siblings, 6404.19.87.30 (For men) and 6404.19.87.60 (For women), by not being defined by the gender for which the footwear is intended. While those sibling categories categorize footwear based on the intended wearer, this particular classification focuses on the specific construction and value criteria for a broader group of "other" footwear that doesn't fall under men's or women's specific subdivisions within this price bracket and material composition.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories that branch from 6404.19.87.90. Therefore, all footwear meeting the outlined criteria of having rubber or plastic outer soles with textile uppers (excluding vegetable fibers), priced between $6.50 and $12 per pair, and where the greatest sole contact surface is textile (not covered by additional U.S. note 5), will be classified under this specific code.
