Overview
This HTS code, 4203.21.40.00, encompasses "Other" baseball and softball gloves and mitts, specifically those designed for use in sports that are not batting gloves. This category captures a broad range of handwear intended for the sport of baseball or softball, excluding the specialized gloves worn by batters. Examples include catcher's mitts, first baseman's mitts, infielder's gloves, and outfielder's gloves.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 4203.21.20.00 (Batting gloves), lies in their primary functional purpose within the sport. Batting gloves are designed to improve grip and prevent blisters for batters, whereas the gloves classified under 4203.21.40.00 are intended for fielding actions, providing protection and aiding in the catching of the ball.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions within this category. Therefore, classification relies on a thorough understanding of the item's specific design and intended use for fielding in baseball or softball, ensuring it aligns with the broader definition of sports gloves and mitts provided by the parent categories.
