4015.90.00.10 - Aprons 🖩

This HTS category, 4015.90.00.10, specifically covers aprons made from vulcanized rubber, excluding hard rubber. These aprons are designed for a variety of protective purposes, ranging from industrial and laboratory use to food service and domestic applications. The key characteristic for classification under this code is the material composition – vulcanized rubber – and the form factor as an apron, intended to protect the wearer's front from spills, splashes, or other contaminants.

Within the broader heading of "Articles of apparel and clothing accessories... of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber," this specific subheading distinguishes "Aprons" from "Other" rubber apparel items. While the sibling category 4015.90.00.50 would encompass other types of rubber clothing not specifically enumerated as aprons, such as protective sleeves, gaiters, or specialized footwear covers (if not classified elsewhere), this node is exclusively for items fitting the description of an apron.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 4015.90.00.10 relies on accurately identifying the item as an apron constructed from vulcanized rubber. Items that are similar in function but made from different materials, such as plastic or fabric, would fall under different HTS headings.
