6116.99.95 - Other

This classification pertains to knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not specifically covered by other headings within Chapter 61. The crucial distinguishing factor for 6116.99.95 is that these items are made from textile materials other than those explicitly defined in preceding subcategories, such as artificial fibers or those predominantly composed of silk.

When classifying an item under 6116.99.95, it's essential to first rule out any applicable sibling categories. For instance, if the garment contains 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, it would be classified under 6116.99.75. Similarly, items made primarily of artificial fibers would fall under a different designation. This category serves as a residual classification for knitted or crocheted hand-covering accessories made from a variety of other textile materials.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to account for specific trade considerations, particularly concerning import restraints. The subcategories 6116.99.95.10, 6116.99.95.20, and 6116.99.95.30 distinguish items subject to cotton, wool, or man-made fiber restraints, respectively. The final subcategory, 6116.99.95.60, captures any remaining items not falling under these restraint-specific classifications. The presence and nature of these restraints are critical for accurate import processing.
