6405.20.90.70 - For infants, as described in statistical note 2 to this chapter 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 6405.20.90.70, specifically covers footwear designed for infants. The defining characteristic of this category is its intended wearer. Unlike its sibling categories, which are categorized by gender (men's and women's), this classification is exclusively for footwear created for very young children, as further defined by statistical note 2 to Chapter 64. The uppers of these infant shoes are constructed from textile materials, aligning with the broader scope of 6405.20.

The distinction from sibling categories is critical for accurate tariff application. While 6405.20.90.30 and 6405.20.90.60 are designated for adult men and women respectively, this category, 6405.20.90.70, focuses on footwear sized and styled specifically for infants. The "Other" category at 6405.20.90.80 serves as a residual for footwear with textile uppers not falling into the infant, men's, or women's classifications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code depends entirely on meeting the criteria for infant footwear, having textile uppers, and not fitting into the explicitly defined "men," "women," or other residual "other" categories at the same level. Examples might include soft-soled booties, crib shoes, or specially sized sneakers intended for babies.
