6116.93.64.00 - Without fourchettes (431)

This HTS classification, 6116.93.64.00, pertains to knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are classified as "other" types, made from synthetic fibers, and importantly, *without fourchettes*. "Fourchettes" refer to the small panels of fabric sewn into the sides of the fingers of gloves to improve fit and dexterity. Therefore, this category specifically includes gloves where this construction element is absent.

The distinction from its sibling category, 6116.93.74.00, lies precisely in the presence or absence of these fourchettes. While both are knitted or crocheted gloves of synthetic fibers, the latter category explicitly denotes gloves *with* fourchettes, indicating a more complex finger construction that influences fit and comfort. This category, conversely, covers simpler constructions lacking this specific feature.

As a leaf node, 6116.93.64.00 does not have further subdivisions. Classification within this code is determined by the affirmative absence of fourchettes in knitted or crocheted gloves composed primarily of synthetic fibers, and meeting the broader criteria of Chapter 61 and its preceding headings. Examples would include basic, unlined knitted gloves of synthetic yarn where the finger panels are directly joined without additional gusset material.
