6216.00.29.25 - Subject to man-made fiber restraints (631) 🖩

This HTS classification covers gloves, mittens, and mitts that are impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber. Specifically, these items fall under the "Other" category for such articles and are further defined by having "fourchettes" (strips of fabric between the fingers of gloves). The defining characteristic for this particular sub-classification is that the gloves must contain 50 percent or more by weight of man-made fibers, or a combination of cotton and man-made fibers that meets this threshold.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6216.00.29.10, by its fiber content. While both are for impregnated, coated, or covered gloves with fourchettes and a minimum of 50% cotton, man-made fibers, or a combination thereof, 6216.00.29.10 specifically applies when cotton is the predominant fiber or part of the predominant combination. In contrast, 6216.00.29.25 is for those instances where man-made fibers are the dominant component by weight, or are combined with cotton to reach that 50% or more threshold. The sibling category 6216.00.29.30, designated as "Other," would encompass items that do not meet the specific material percentages or other criteria of the preceding subcategories.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this classification. Therefore, the primary focus for classification purposes at this level is accurately determining the fiber composition to ensure compliance with any applicable import restrictions or duty rates, particularly those denoted by the parenthetical restraint code (631).
