6116.99.54.00 - With fourchettes (631)

This HTS category, 6116.99.54.00, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not of cotton, wool, or man-made fibers, and are made from "other textile materials." Crucially, the defining characteristic of items within this subcategory is the presence of "fourchettes." Fourchettes refer to the small triangular or gusset pieces of fabric sewn into the base of the finger sections of gloves to allow for better articulation and fit.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 6116.99.48.00, by the explicit presence of these fourchettes. Items classified under 6116.99.48.00 are knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, or mitts made of "other textile materials" but *without* fourchettes. Therefore, the presence or absence of these specific construction elements is the primary differentiator at this level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 6116.99.54.00. Classification ends at this point, meaning that any knitted or crocheted glove, mitten, or mitt, made from textile materials other than cotton, wool, or man-made fibers, and featuring fourchettes, will be classified here. Examples might include specialized gloves made from silk, linen, or certain regenerated cellulosic fibers not otherwise specified.
