Overview
This HTS classification, 6116.92.74, specifically addresses knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are of cotton and are further classified as "other" types, made from a pre-existing machine knit fabric, and crucially, feature "fourchettes." Fourchettes are typically small pieces of fabric inserted between the thumb and the main finger stalls of a glove, contributing to a more tailored fit and articulation.
The distinguishing factor for this category is the presence of these fourchettes. Its sibling category, 6116.92.64, covers similar cotton gloves made from machine knit fabric but *without* fourchettes, highlighting the precise construction detail as the key differentiator. This distinction is critical for accurate customs declarations, as the presence or absence of these specific fabric inserts alters the classification.
Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the fabric's construction. Subcategories 6116.92.74.50, 6116.92.74.60, and 6116.92.74.70 categorize these cotton gloves with fourchettes based on whether the fabric is of a jersey type and brushed or napped, or of a lisle type with no pile and not brushed or napped, respectively. An "other" category accommodates any remaining variations not falling into the more specific fabric descriptions.
