4203.29.08.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 4203.29.08.00, encompasses "Other" gloves, mittens, and mitts that are made wholly of horsehide or cowhide leather, excluding calfskin. It falls under the broader category of apparel and clothing accessories crafted from leather or composition leather. The key defining characteristic here is that these items are entirely constructed from the specified types of leather, with no significant non-leather components contributing to the primary structure or function.

This specific subcategory distinguishes itself from its sibling, 4203.29.05.00, by the absence of fourchettes or sidewalls that extend at a minimum from fingertip to fingertip between each of the four fingers. In essence, if the glove does not possess this particular structural element, it would likely be classified here, provided it meets the other criteria of being wholly of horsehide or cowhide leather.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 4203.29.08.00 relies heavily on the meticulous examination of the leather type and the complete absence of the specific finger-to-finger sidewall construction detailed in its sibling category. This ensures accurate tariff application for gloves and similar hand coverings that are solely fabricated from horsehide or cowhide.
