4203.29 - Other:

This HTS category, 4203.29, encompasses gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not specifically designed for use in sports. The distinguishing factor here is the exclusion of items designed for athletic activities, which are classified under the sibling category 4203.21. Therefore, this category is intended for general-purpose gloves, mittens, and mitts made from leather or composition leather.

Within this classification, further distinctions are made based on the material composition. The subcategories allow for a more granular classification of these non-sporting hand coverings. This ensures that gloves made from specific types of leather, such as horsehide or cowhide (excluding calfskin), are appropriately categorized separately from other types of leather handwear.

The existence of these subcategories signifies the importance of precise material identification for accurate tariff assessment. By differentiating based on the type of leather, customs authorities can apply the correct duty rates and track the import/export of specific leather goods more effectively.
