6406.90.15.80 - Other

This HTS category, 6406.90.15.80, encompasses "Other" parts of footwear made from textile materials, excluding those specifically classified as leg-warmers. It serves as a catch-all for textile components of footwear that do not fit into more specific subheadings within Chapter 64. Examples of items that would fall under this classification include textile linings for footwear, textile sock inserts (other than removable insoles or heel cushions which have their own specific classifications), and textile elements used in the construction or embellishment of footwear that are not considered uppers or gaiters.

Unlike the sibling category for leg-warmers, which specifically covers knitted or crocheted articles for covering the legs, this category is broader, encompassing a variety of textile parts for footwear. The key differentiator lies in the intended use and form of the article; leg-warmers are distinct garments, whereas the items here are components integral to the structure or function of footwear. Therefore, when classifying textile articles, it is crucial to determine if the item is a standalone garment for the leg or a part intended for attachment to or inclusion within footwear.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification within 6406.90.15.80 hinges on identifying the article as a textile part of footwear and ensuring it is not specifically enumerated elsewhere, particularly not as leg-warmers. The emphasis is on the material composition (textile) and its role as a component within the broader scope of footwear or its related accessories.
