6404.20.20.60 - For women

This HTS category specifically covers footwear designed for women, featuring outer soles made of leather or composition leather. The uppers of these shoes must be constructed from textile materials. Critically, the footwear must not exceed 50 percent by weight of rubber or plastics, and simultaneously not exceed 50 percent by weight of textile materials combined with rubber or plastics, provided that at least 10 percent by weight is rubber or plastics. The value threshold for this specific classification is not over $2.50 per pair.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6404.20.20.30 addresses footwear for men meeting the same material and weight criteria. The sibling category 6404.20.20.90 encompasses "Other" footwear that falls under the broader 6404.20.20 heading but does not meet the specific criteria for women's or men's footwear, or potentially other unstated nuances.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, focusing on the precise combination of gender designation (for women), sole material (leather or composition leather), upper material (textile), specific weight percentages of rubber/plastics and textile, and the declared value per pair. Importers must carefully verify all these criteria to ensure accurate classification.
