6116.93.74.00 - With fourchettes (431)

This HTS classification covers knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not specifically designed as ski-gloves or other specialized types (as per the "Other" designation at this level). Crucially, these articles must be made from synthetic fibers and contain 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. The presence of "fourchettes" is a defining characteristic of this specific subheading.

The primary distinction for this subheading lies in the inclusion of "fourchettes." Fourchettes are the small strips of fabric inserted into the base of the fingers of gloves, connecting the palm to the finger. This specific construction feature is what differentiates this category from its sibling, 6116.93.64.00, which covers similar knitted or crocheted gloves made of synthetic fibers containing at least 23% wool or fine animal hair but are made *without* fourchettes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the material composition (synthetic fibers with a significant wool/fine animal hair content) and the specific construction detail of having fourchettes. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the construction of their knitted or crocheted handwear to determine the presence or absence of fourchettes to ensure accurate classification.
