Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If uppers are textile but outer sole is rubber/plastics with greatest ground contact
Chapter Note 4(b) determines sole by ground-contact area; rubber soles shift to Chapter 64 heading 6402/6403.
If for men or boys instead of women
Separate subheadings by gender; sizing and design intent dictate women's vs. men's classification.
If imported as unfinished uppers without soles attached
Completed footwear requires soles; sole-less uppers may classify as made-up textile articles.
