Overview
This HTS code, 6116.93.05.00, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are designed for ice hockey and field hockey. These items are characterized by their construction from textile materials and their specific design features tailored to the demands of these particular sports, such as padding, reinforcement, and grip enhancement.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6116.93.08.00, which covers "other" gloves, mittens, and mitts specially designed for sports use, including ski and snowmobile gloves. While both relate to sports gloves, the operative distinction lies in the specific sports mentioned. Code 6116.93.05.00 is narrowly focused on ice and field hockey, whereas 6116.93.08.00 encompasses a broader range of other sporting applications.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this code is final for knitted or crocheted ice hockey and field hockey gloves. Importers should ensure that the gloves are indeed constructed from synthetic fibers and are demonstrably designed for one of these two sports to correctly apply this classification.
