6116.10.95.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 6116.10.95.00, specifically covers knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber, and are classified as "Other" within this subgroup, excluding those with specific weight compositions like cotton. The defining characteristic here is the plastic or rubber application, which imparts enhanced protection, waterproofing, or grip properties to the textile base.

This subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 6116.10.75, which focuses on similar impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts where the textile component constitutes 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile fibers. Therefore, 6116.10.95.00 applies to items where the textile fiber percentage may be less than 50%, or where the dominant classification criteria lie beyond the specified fiber composition, provided they meet the general impregnation/coating requirements.

As a leaf node, 6116.10.95.00 represents the most specific classification for these types of handwear. Classification within this code relies on the absence of specific cotton or man-made fiber weight thresholds found in sibling categories and the presence of plastic or rubber treatment. Examples might include industrial work gloves with heavy-duty rubber coatings for chemical resistance or waterproof sports gloves with a plastic laminate, where the textile component might be minimal or the primary function is derived from the polymer layer.
