6216.00.17.30 - Subject to man-made fiber restraints (631) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6216.00.17.30, specifically covers gloves, mittens, and mitts that are neither knitted nor crocheted, and are neither impregnated, coated, nor covered with plastics or rubber. Crucially, these articles must be cut and sewn from pre-existing machine-woven fabric and must be made of vegetable fibers. The explicit "Subject to man-made fiber restraints (631)" within the description indicates that the primary material composition is not man-made fibers, which is a key differentiating factor.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6216.00.17.20, which is subject to cotton restraints, by the material composition. While both are cut and sewn from woven fabric, 6216.00.17.20 specifies cotton as the primary fiber, whereas this category is for other vegetable fibers. Furthermore, it differs from the "Other" sibling, 6216.00.17.40, which acts as a residual category for items not meeting the specific criteria of the other subcategories within this grouping.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 6216.00.17.30 hinges on the precise determination of the fabric's composition, ensuring it is woven, not knitted or crocheted, cut and sewn, and made predominantly of vegetable fibers other than cotton, and not impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber. The presence of man-made fiber restraints is a key identifier for this particular sub-classification.
