Overview
This HTS category, 6116.99.20.00, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted gloves designed for the sports of ice hockey and field hockey. These gloves are characterized by their construction from textile materials that are not specifically enumerated in other subheadings within heading 6116. The defining feature for classification here is their specialized design and intended use in these particular sports, which often dictates specific protective features, grip enhancements, and dexterity requirements.
While other categories within heading 6116 cover a broad range of knitted or crocheted gloves, this specific subheading is distinguished by its exclusive focus on ice hockey and field hockey gloves. For instance, the sibling category 6116.99.35.00 covers a wider array of "other" sports gloves, including those for skiing and snowmobiling, indicating a broader scope of application. Therefore, the critical differentiator for 6116.99.20.00 is the precise sporting application.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification is definitively determined by whether the knitted or crocheted glove is designed for and intended to be used in ice hockey or field hockey, and is not otherwise specified or excluded by higher-level headings. This ensures that these specialized sports gloves are accurately categorized.
