6216.00.17.40 - Other (831)

This HTS category, 6216.00.17.40, covers "Other" gloves, mittens, and mitts that are cut and sewn from pre-existing machine-woven fabric impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber. The fabric itself must be of vegetable fibers. This designation applies to items that do not fall under specific cotton or man-made fiber restraints that exist at the same level of classification.

The key differentiator for this category is the material composition of the underlying woven fabric. Unlike its sibling categories, which are defined by the presence of specific fiber restraints, this subcategory encompasses vegetable fiber-based articles that are not subject to those particular restrictions. Therefore, importers must confirm the vegetable fiber origin of the woven fabric before classifying goods under this code, ensuring it is not subject to any specific import limitations.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 6216.00.17.40 is determined by the absence of cotton or man-made fiber restraints and the confirmation that the base woven fabric is derived from vegetable fibers. This ensures accurate tariff application for a specific range of textile gloves and similar accessories.
