6116.10.75 - Containing 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers or other textile fibers, or any combination thereof

This HTS category, 6116.10.75, encompasses knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber. Crucially, these articles must contain 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile fibers, or a combination thereof. The "Other" designation at this level differentiates these specific types from other potential sub-classifications within the broader category of impregnated or coated knitted gloves.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 6116.10.95, lies in the presence of "fourchettes." Fourchettes are typically considered the strips of material that run along the sides of the fingers in gloves, contributing to their overall construction and fit. While both fall under impregnated or coated knitted gloves, the inclusion or exclusion of fourchettes in their construction guides their separate classification.

Within this category, further subdivision is provided based on specific material restraints. Subcategories 6116.10.75.10 and 6116.10.75.20 distinguish between articles subject to cotton restraints and those subject to man-made fiber restraints, respectively. The residual subcategory, 6116.10.75.30, covers all other articles within this classification that do not fall under these specific restraint categories. This granular approach allows for precise tracking and management of textile imports and exports based on their fiber content and associated trade agreements.
