6116.99.35.00 - Other gloves, mittens and mitts, all the fore going specially designed for use in sports, including ski and snowmobile gloves, mittens and mitts

This HTS classification, 6116.99.35.00, encompasses knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings, but are demonstrably designed for athletic or sporting use. This category is intended for items like ski gloves, snowmobile mittens, and other sports-specific handwear that do not fall under more narrowly defined sporting goods categories. The key determinant is the specialized design and functional purpose for engagement in sports activities.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6116.99.20.00, which specifically covers ice hockey gloves and field hockey gloves. Those categories are for a very particular type of sporting glove with distinct design features and protective elements tailored to those specific sports. Any other sporting glove, mitten, or mitt not fitting that precise description, but still designed for sports use and made of knitted or crocheted textile materials of artificial fibers, will likely find its classification here.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this code relies on confirming that the item is indeed a glove, mitten, or mitt, made from knitted or crocheted artificial fibers, and possesses characteristics clearly indicating its intended use in sports activities beyond those explicitly covered by more specific sibling categories. Examples include general-purpose ski gloves, recreational snowmobile mittens, and other similar handwear where the sporting function is the primary differentiator.
