If for men or boys
Parallel subheading 6402.99.21 applies identical criteria but specifies men's sizing, splitting by gender.
If the footwear has uppers not exceeding 90% rubber/plastics
Lower plastic surface area (e.g., textile predominant) falls into broader 'other' categories.
If imported as outer soles or platforms only, without uppers

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide lab tests confirming >90% plastics/rubber upper surface; CBP often audits surface area claims
• Label clearly as 'women's' with size charts; mislabeling as unisex can trigger 6402.99.21 (men)
• Avoid chemical-resistant claims to prevent reclassification as protective under 6402.99.80
