6216.00.29.10 - Subject to cotton restraints (331) 🖩

This HTS category, 6216.00.29.10, specifically classifies gloves, mittens, and mitts that are impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber, fall under the "Other" designation, and feature fourchettes. Critically, these items must contain 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers, or any combination thereof. This precise material composition is a key differentiator for classification within this sub-heading.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While all fall under the broader classification for impregnated, coated, or rubber-covered gloves with fourchettes, 6216.00.29.10 is exclusively for those meeting the specified cotton or man-made fiber content. Sibling category 6216.00.29.25 pertains to items subject to man-made fiber restraints (631), and 6216.00.29.30 covers all other remaining items (831) not meeting the criteria for cotton or specific man-made fiber restraints.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 6216.00.29.10. Therefore, the classification is finalized based on the criteria of being impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber, having fourchettes, and containing 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers, or a combination thereof. Examples within this category would include work gloves or industrial mitts designed for protection and grip, where the plastic or rubber coating enhances durability and water resistance, and the primary fabric content is cotton or synthetic fibers.
