6216.00.24.25 - Subject to man-made fiber restraints (631)

This HTS classification specifically covers gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not knitted or crocheted, are impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber, and are not made with fourchettes. Crucially, these articles must contain 50% or more by weight of man-made fibers, or a combination of cotton and man-made fibers where man-made fibers constitute at least 50% of the total weight. The "Subject to man-made fiber restraints (631)" designation indicates specific quota or visa requirements that may apply to these goods depending on their origin.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 6216.00.24.10, which covers similar articles but is subject to cotton restraints (331), meaning it contains 50% or more by weight of cotton, or a combination where cotton is the predominant fiber. It also differs from the "Other" sibling category (6216.00.24.30), which encompasses articles not meeting the specific fiber content criteria of this or the cotton-restrained category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the precise determination of fiber content by weight, ensuring that man-made fibers constitute the majority of the article's weight. Practical examples within this classification would include work gloves or protective handwear coated in PVC or polyurethane, designed for industrial use, where the underlying fabric is predominantly composed of synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon.
