Overview
This HTS category, 6216.00, encompasses a wide array of gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not knitted or crocheted. These items are crafted from textile materials and are designed for hand protection or as fashion accessories. Examples include gloves made from woven fabrics, leather, or synthetic materials, excluding those produced through knitting or crocheting processes, which fall under different HTS classifications.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings at the highest levels of the HTS, such as live animals or agricultural products, is straightforward. Category 6216.00 is specifically reserved for finished apparel and clothing accessories made from textiles, falling within Section XI of the tariff. Unlike other categories within Chapter 62 that might cover garments like shirts or trousers, this subheading focuses exclusively on hand coverings.
Within HTS 6216.00, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the materials used and any treatments applied. The subcategories, such as "Impregnated, coated or covered with plastics or rubber" and "Other," allow for a more precise classification based on whether the textile material of the gloves has been enhanced with protective or decorative coatings. This distinction is crucial for determining applicable duties and import regulations.
