6116.10.65.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 6116.10.65.00, pertains to knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber, and which fall under the "Other" subcategory of those that are without fourchettes. Specifically, this heading captures items where the primary structure is knitted or crocheted textile, which then undergoes a further treatment involving plastic or rubber application. The "without fourchettes" designation means the gloves lack the additional gusset strips of fabric typically found between the fingers in some glove constructions.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6116.10.55, which specifically covers gloves impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber, provided they contain 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile fibers. The key differentiator lies in the material composition percentage. If the textile content is below 50 percent by weight, or if the nature of the plastic/rubber impregnation or coating is such that it defines the primary character and the textile is more of a substrate, it would fall under this "Other" classification rather than the sibling category focusing on higher textile content.

As a leaf node, this classification represents a specific endpoint in the HTS structure. Therefore, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 6116.10.65.00 is determined by meeting all preceding criteria: being knitted or crocheted, being impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber, and not having fourchettes, while also not fitting the specific material composition requirements of the sibling category. Examples include certain types of protective work gloves or athletic gloves where a textile base is significantly enhanced or covered by a plastic or rubber layer.
