Women's Rubber Rain Boots Mid-Calf
These women's mid-calf rain boots feature uppers made almost entirely of rubber or plastics, covering the ankle for protection against wet weather. They qualify under HTS 6402.91.4050 because over 90% of the external surface area of the upper is rubber/plastics, without foxing or foxing-like bands, and are designed for women. The outer sole is also of rubber or plastics, providing waterproof functionality.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If with foxing or foxing-like band applied or molded at the sole
Footwear with foxing overlapping the upper shifts to 6401.92, as it no longer meets the 'except' exclusion criteria.
If designed primarily as protective against water, oil, grease, chemicals, or weather
Protective overshoes or weatherproof boots fall under 6405 for safety footwear, not general other footwear.
If upper has less than 90% rubber/plastics external surface area
Lower rubber/plastic content in uppers moves it to other non-sports rubber/plastic footwear subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify upper material composition exceeds 90% rubber/plastics via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed photos and construction diagrams in entry docs to confirm no foxing band
• Label clearly as women's footwear; misgendering can lead to duty rate errors
