6116.10.75.10 - Subject to cotton restraints (331)

This HTS classification, 6116.10.75.10, specifically covers knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber. These items fall under the broader category of "Other" within the impregnated/coated group, and further qualify as having fourchettes. The critical defining characteristic for this subcategory is the material composition: the goods must contain 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile fibers, or any combination thereof.

The distinction between this category and its siblings is crucial for accurate tariff application. While all fall under the umbrella of impregnated or coated knitted gloves, 6116.10.75.10 is specifically for those where cotton or other natural/synthetic textile fibers form the predominant material (50% or more). In contrast, sibling category 6116.10.75.20 applies to similar goods subject to man-made fiber restraints, and 6116.10.75.30 serves as a residual category for all other such impregnated or coated knitted gloves not meeting the specific fiber content criteria of the other subheadings.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, classification hinges entirely on meeting the precise criteria of being impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber, featuring fourchettes, and containing at least 50 percent by weight of cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile fibers. Examples could include work gloves with a nitrile coating, thermal mitts with a rubberized interior, or protective handwear with a plastic laminate for enhanced durability, all predominantly constructed from textile fibers.
