6116.93.88.00 - Without fourchettes (631)

This HTS category, 6116.93.88.00, encompasses knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not constructed with fourchettes. These items are specifically made from synthetic fibers and fall under the broader classification of "Other" knitted or crocheted gloves not specified elsewhere. The absence of fourchettes is a key distinguishing feature for classification at this level.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6116.93.94.00, which covers knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts of synthetic fibers that *do* have fourchettes. A fourchette, in the context of gloves, refers to a strip of material sewn into the base of the finger to provide a more tailored fit and complete coverage. Therefore, the presence or absence of this specific construction element is the primary determinant between these two sibling subheadings.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. The classification ends here, indicating that items meeting the criteria of being knitted or crocheted, made of synthetic fibers, not having fourchettes, and not being otherwise specified, will fall directly under 6116.93.88.00. Examples would include simple knit gloves or mitts made from materials like polyester, nylon, or acrylic, without the additional stitching detail that defines a fourchette.
