4015.19.11.10 - Disposable 🖩

This HTS category, 4015.19.11.10, specifically covers disposable gloves, mittens, and mitts made from vulcanized rubber, excluding hard rubber. The "Disposable" descriptor signifies that these items are designed for single use or limited reuse, typically found in medical, laboratory, industrial, or food service applications. Their construction is characterized by the absence of seams, often achieved through processes like dipping or molding, which contributes to their flexibility and barrier properties.

At this level of detail, the key distinction lies in the manufacturing method. While sibling category 4015.19.11.50, "Other," would encompass sewn or otherwise constructed gloves, mittens, and mitts of vulcanized rubber, this category exclusively targets seamless articles. This means items produced without stitched seams, relying on integrated molding or dipping techniques for their form and integrity, fall under 4015.19.11.10.

As a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this category. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying seamless, disposable gloves, mittens, and mitts made of vulcanized rubber. Classification relies heavily on the product's intended use (disposability) and its construction method (seamless), ensuring accurate distinction from other rubber apparel classifications.
