6405.10.00.60 - For women

This HTS category, 6405.10.00.60, specifically classifies footwear designed for women. This classification applies to shoes where the external surface of the upper is primarily composed of leather or composition leather. The inclusion of "composition leather" signifies materials that are manufactured to resemble leather but may be made from other fibers or binders, provided they meet the specific definitions and requirements for composition leather within customs regulations.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6405.10.00.30 covers similar footwear with leather or composition leather uppers but explicitly designated "for men." The remaining sibling, 6405.10.00.90, encompasses "other" footwear within this sub-heading that does not fall under the specific gender classifications or other potential exclusions at this level. Therefore, the defining characteristic for 6405.10.00.60 is the intended wearer being female.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level will focus on confirming that the footwear meets the criteria for having an upper primarily made of leather or composition leather and that it is intended for female wearers. Examples within this category could include women's leather boots, women's dress shoes, women's casual shoes, and women's sandals, all constructed with leather or composition leather as the dominant upper material.
