6404.20.40.90 - Other

This HTS classification, 6404.20.40.90, applies to footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and uppers primarily made of textile materials. Specifically, it captures footwear that is not over 50 percent by weight of rubber or plastics, and not over 50 percent by weight of textile materials and rubber or plastics combined, with at least 10 percent by weight being rubber or plastics. Furthermore, these items must be valued at over $2.50 per pair.

This category functions as a residual for footwear meeting the general material and value criteria when it is not specifically designated for men or women. Its sibling categories, 6404.20.40.30 (For men) and 6404.20.40.60 (For women), are more granular, distinguishing footwear based on the intended gender of the wearer. Therefore, this "Other" classification is used for footwear that, while fitting the broad material composition and price point, does not fall into the men's or women's specific sub-classifications, which could include unisex styles or children's footwear if not otherwise specified.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, 6404.20.40.90 does not have further subcategories. Classification into this code is final when all preceding criteria, including the outer sole material (leather or composition leather in this branch), upper material (textile), weight proportions of rubber/plastics and textiles, value, and gender designation, have been met. This classification ensures that all qualifying footwear, not specifically categorized by gender, is accounted for within the tariff system.
