6216.00.29 - Containing 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers or any combi- nation thereof

This HTS classification covers gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not knitted or crocheted, and are either impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber. Specifically, this subcategory pertains to those items where the material content is 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers, or a combination of both. These items are intended for general wear or specific protective purposes where the plastic or rubber covering offers a barrier against elements or hazards.

The distinction from sibling categories, such as "Other" under 6216.00.31.00, lies in the specific material composition requirement of cotton or man-made fibers being the predominant component by weight, alongside the plastic or rubber impregnation, coating, or covering. This focus on textile composition differentiates it from other potentially similar items that may have different primary material compositions or lack the plastic/rubber treatment.

Within this classification, further subcategories exist to account for specific import regulations. These include subdivisions for items subject to cotton restraints, man-made fiber restraints, and a general "Other" category for those not falling under specific quota or restriction requirements. These subcategories are crucial for importers to comply with any applicable trade agreements or limitations on the volume of certain textile goods that can be imported.
