6116.92.64.20 - Jersey type, brushed or napped fabric (331) 🖩

This HTS category, specifically 6116.92.64.20, pertains to knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are "jersey type, brushed or napped fabric." This means the gloves are constructed from a pre-existing machine-knit fabric characterized by a jersey knit construction, which has subsequently undergone a brushing or napping process. This process raises the surface fibers of the fabric, creating a soft, fuzzy, or plush texture. These items are classified under the broader category of other knitted or crocheted gloves made from cotton fabric.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6116.92.64.20 specifically requires the fabric to be "jersey type, brushed or napped." It differs from 6116.92.64.10, which covers "terry cloth type, looped pile fabric," a fabric with raised loops of yarn. It also differs from 6116.92.64.30, classified as "lisle type, no pile, not brushed or napped," which describes a smoother, finer cotton yarn knit fabric without the raised fibers. The remaining sibling, 6116.92.64.40, serves as an "Other" category for knitted cotton gloves made from pre-existing machine knit fabric that do not fit the specific descriptions of the other subcategories.

As a leaf node, this category has no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification at this level hinges entirely on the specific fabric characteristics: the underlying knit structure being jersey type, and the finishing process being either brushing or napping. The presence of these tactile qualities is the defining criterion for goods falling under 6116.92.64.20.
