6406.10.05.00 - For men, youths and boys

This HTS classification, 6406.10.05.00, specifically designates formed uppers made from leather or composition leather that are intended for footwear designed for men, youths, and boys. These are typically pre-shaped components that constitute the main body of the shoe, covering the foot from the instep to the ankle, excluding the sole. The material composition is critical, requiring the upper to be primarily composed of leather or a leather substitute.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6406.10.10.00 ("For other persons"), is crucial. While both are formed uppers of leather or composition leather, the key differentiator is the intended wearer. This code is exclusively for uppers destined for footwear for males of all ages, whereas the sibling category encompasses uppers for footwear designed for all other individuals, such as women, girls, or unisex designs.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is final at this level, meaning the specific criteria of being a formed upper, made of leather or composition leather, and intended for men, youths, and boys, fully define the scope of goods covered.
