Overview
This HTS category, 6116.10, specifically covers knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that have been impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber. This treatment imparts specific protective or functional properties, such as enhanced water resistance, grip, or durability. The materials used for impregnation, coating, covering, or lamination are critical for classification under this subheading.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Other" (6116.90), is the presence of the plastic or rubber treatment. While both subheadings deal with knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts, 6116.10 is reserved for those exhibiting the defined plastic or rubber modification. Unmodified knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts would fall under the "Other" category.
Within this subheading, further distinctions are made for specialized applications. Subcategories exist to classify specific types of sports gloves, such as ice hockey and field hockey gloves, as well as other sports-related gloves like those for skiing or snowmobiling. The existence of these subcategories highlights the importance of intended use and specific design features in the granular classification of these treated textile accessories.
