6405.20.30.30 - For men

This HTS category, 6405.20.30.30, specifically classifies footwear designed for men. These are footwear items where the upper part is constructed from textile materials, and further refined to have uppers made from vegetable fibers. Examples within this category would include men's sandals, slippers, or casual shoes featuring woven or knitted components derived from natural plant-based materials such as cotton, linen, jute, or bamboo.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories based on the intended wearer. While 6405.20.30.60 covers women's footwear and 6405.20.30.70 is designated for infants as per statistical note 2, this specific code is exclusively for articles made for adult males. The general category 6405.20.30.80 serves as a residual for other footwear not fitting the gender-specific designations.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on accurately identifying the footwear as being for men, having an upper made of textile materials, and specifically, that textile being of vegetable fiber origin. The primary distinguishing factors for classification at this level are gender intended use and the material composition of the upper.
