6404.20.60 - Other

This HTS category, 6404.20.60, encompasses footwear that features outer soles made from rubber, plastics, leather, or composition leather, and where the uppers are constructed from textile materials. Specifically, this subcategory applies to footwear where the combination of textile materials and rubber or plastics constitutes at least 50 percent of the weight, and within that combination, rubber or plastics make up at least 10 percent of the weight. This classification focuses on the material composition of both the sole and the upper, and the proportional contribution of these materials.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling lies in the material composition thresholds. Unlike footwear that might be predominantly leather or textile without meeting the specified rubber or plastic content in the upper, this category specifically targets footwear where textile is the primary upper material, supported by a significant, yet defined, proportion of rubber or plastics in conjunction with other materials if applicable.

Within this classification, further distinctions are made based on the intended wearer, catering to the specific requirements of men's, women's, and other categories of footwear. The subcategories 6404.20.60.40 (For men), 6404.20.60.60 (For women), and 6404.20.60.80 (Other) allow for more precise tariff application by recognizing differences in design, sizing, and intended use relevant to gender or other specific designations.
