6116.10.55.30 - Other (831)

This HTS category, 6116.10.55.30, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber. Within this sub-classification of "Other" impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated items, it further narrows down to those without fourchettes (the small triangular pieces of fabric often found in the crotch of gloves). This particular subcategory encompasses those "Other" items that do not fall under specific material restraints for cotton or man-made fibers.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its exclusion from direct material-based restraints found in its sibling categories. While 6116.10.55.10 and 6116.10.55.20 are specifically designated for items subject to cotton or man-made fiber restraints respectively, this category 6116.10.55.30 applies to goods meeting all other criteria of impregnated/coated/covered/laminated knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts without fourchettes, where such specific material restraints are not the primary classification driver. This often includes items where the plastic or rubber component is more significant, or where the textile content, while present, does not trigger specific restraint considerations.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 6116.10.55.30 is definitive once the preceding criteria are met. This includes ensuring the item is indeed knitted or crocheted, has undergone impregnation, coating, covering, or lamination with plastic or rubber, lacks fourchettes, and does not align with the specific textile material restraint criteria of its siblings.
