Overview
This HTS classification specifically designates ice hockey gloves and field hockey gloves that are knitted or crocheted. These are distinguished by their specialized design and protective features tailored for the rigorous demands of these two distinct sports. The construction typically includes reinforced padding, enhanced grip, and secure fastenings to provide optimal protection and control during gameplay.
While other knitted or crocheted gloves for sports are classified under heading 6116.92.08, this particular subcategory is reserved solely for the unique requirements of ice hockey and field hockey. It differentiates itself from more general sports gloves, such as those for skiing or snowmobiling, by the specific demands of impact absorption and maneuverability inherent to stick-and-puck or stick-and-ball sports.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive for knitted or crocheted gloves explicitly identified as being for ice hockey or field hockey use. Importers should ensure that the physical characteristics and intended application of the gloves align precisely with the description to avoid misclassification.
