6116.92.74.70 - Other (331)

This classification, HTS Code 6116.92.74.70, specifically covers knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts falling under the broader category of "Other" when they are not of the jersey type, brushed or napped fabric, nor of the lisle type, with no pile, and not brushed or napped. The key distinguishing factor for this subcategory is the specific construction and finishing of the fabric from which the gloves are made. These items are constructed from a pre-existing machine knit fabric and are characterized by the presence of fourchettes, which are additional pieces of fabric sewn into the sides of the fingers of gloves to improve fit and comfort.

Unlike HTS 6116.92.74.50 which pertains to gloves made from brushed or napped jersey fabric, or HTS 6116.92.74.60 which refers to lisle type fabric without pile and not brushed or napped, this category captures a different set of fabric constructions. The inclusion of "Other" at this granular level signifies that the fabric does not meet the specific definitions of the preceding sibling categories, but is still a pre-existing machine knit fabric used for glove construction.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification system, HTS 6116.92.74.70 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification into this code rests entirely on meeting the criteria of being a knitted or crocheted glove, mitten, or mitt made from a pre-existing machine knit fabric, and importantly, featuring the distinct construction element of fourchettes. Examples within this category could include knitted cotton gloves with tailored finger gussets for a better fit, as long as the fabric does not align with the descriptions of the sibling categories.
