Overview
This HTS classification, 3926.20.10, specifically encompasses "Seamless" articles of apparel and clothing accessories made from plastics or other materials covered by headings 3901 to 3914. The defining characteristic here is the absence of visible seams, implying that these items are likely formed through molding or other manufacturing processes that do not involve joining separate pieces of material with stitching or adhesives. Examples could include seamless gloves, seamless hosiery, or seamless shapewear.
This category is distinct from its sibling categories by its focus on the "seamless" construction. While other "Other" articles of apparel and clothing accessories within this chapter might be constructed with seams, this subcategory isolates those manufactured without them. The absence of seams can significantly impact the comfort, fit, and performance characteristics of the garment or accessory.
Within this "Seamless" category, further distinctions are made to provide more granular classification. The subcategories further refine the scope, such as differentiating between specialized items like surgical and medical gloves from other types of seamless apparel and accessories. This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification of imported or exported goods, ensuring accurate duty assessment and trade compliance.
