4203.29.40.00 - Not lined

This HTS classification, 4203.29.40.00, specifically covers gloves, mittens, and mitts made of leather or composition leather that are *not lined*. This exclusion of lining is a critical distinguishing factor. The classification is situated within the broader category of leather apparel and accessories, and more narrowly, within "other" types of gloves, mittens, and mitts for "other persons."

The primary distinction of this category lies in its "not lined" characteristic. Its sibling category, 4203.29.50.00, covers the very same types of leather gloves, mittens, and mitts, but specifically those that *are lined*. Therefore, the presence or absence of an interior lining material is the sole criterion for differentiating between these two sibling classifications.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. All goods fitting the description of unlined leather gloves, mittens, or mitts for individuals other than those specifically enumerated in prior subheadings will be classified under this code. Examples would include unlined driving gloves, casual wear gloves, or work gloves, provided they meet the material and construction requirements of Chapter 42 and are not intended for specific specialized uses covered elsewhere.
