6216.00.21.30 - Other (831)

This HTS classification, 6216.00.21.30, pertains to gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not knitted or crocheted, and are specifically designed for hand protection. These articles are characterized by being impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber, and fall under the broader category of "other" within this sub-classification. The defining feature is their construction from pre-existing machine-woven fabric that has undergone impregnation, coating, or covering with these materials.

This specific subcategory is distinguished from its siblings, 6216.00.21.10 and 6216.00.21.20, by the absence of specific textile fiber restraints that apply to those other categories. While all items within 6216.00.21.30 are manufactured from fabrics impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber, the classification here is not dictated by whether the underlying fabric is subject to cotton or man-made fiber restraints. This designation is reserved for those articles that do not fall under those specific restraint-based criteria.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6216.00.21.30 depends on the material composition of the fabric (which is machine-woven and not knitted or crocheted), its impregnation, coating, or covering with plastics or rubber, and that it is cut and sewn from such fabric without fourchettes, and crucially, that it is not subject to the specific cotton or man-made fiber restraints designated by the preceding sibling codes.
