6216.00.05.00 - Ice hockey gloves and field hockey gloves 🖩

This HTS classification covers specialized gloves explicitly designed for the sports of ice hockey and field hockey. These gloves are characterized by features that provide protection, grip, and flexibility essential for these particular athletic activities. The materials and construction are tailored to withstand the demands of puck impact in ice hockey and stick control in field hockey.

While this category is specific to ice and field hockey gloves, it exists alongside other sports-related glove classifications within the broader "Gloves, mittens and mitts: Impregnated, coated or covered with plastics or rubber" group. Specifically, it is distinct from HTS 6216.00.08.00, which encompasses a broader range of sports gloves not specifically identified as ice or field hockey. This differentiation is crucial for accurate tariff application, ensuring that only the intended sports equipment falls under this precise subheading.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this subheading hinges on the definitive identification of the gloves as being intended for either ice hockey or field hockey, based on their design, protective elements, and intended use as per their physical characteristics and purpose.
