Women's Rubber Rain Overshoes from Germany

These overshoes are made entirely of rubber with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, designed to be worn over regular shoes as protection against water, rain, and inclement weather. They classify under HTS 6402.99.33.50 because they are 'other' protective footwear for women, not sports or protective active types, with predominant rubber/plastic materials per Chapter Note 4. The full rubber construction ensures protection without qualifying as coated textile under other subheadings.
