6216.00.29.30 - Other (831)

This HTS category, 6216.00.29.30, encompasses gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not knitted or crocheted, and are further specified as being impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber. Within this broad group, the "Other" designation signifies items that do not meet the specific criteria for cotton or man-made fiber restraints detailed in sibling categories. Specifically, this classification applies to such coated or covered gloves that do not fall under the quantitative restrictions associated with cotton-dominant or man-made fiber-dominant items at the 6216.00.29 level.

The crucial distinction for this classification lies in the absence of specific fiber restraints that apply to its immediate siblings. While 6216.00.29.10 covers similar gloves subject to cotton restraints, and 6216.00.29.25 addresses those subject to man-made fiber restraints, this category (6216.00.29.30) is for coated or covered gloves that do not trigger these particular import limitations. Therefore, the material composition, while still relevant to the broader classification of the glove itself (e.g., the underlying fabric), is not the primary factor for differentiating this specific sub-classification when fiber restraints are not a consideration.

As this is a terminal node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6216.00.29.30 is final for goods meeting the preceding criteria and not falling under the more specifically defined sibling categories. Practical application of this code necessitates careful examination of the presence of plastic or rubber impregnation, coating, or covering, alongside a confirmation that the goods are not subject to the specified fiber restraints. Examples could include work gloves with a substantial rubber coating for grip and protection, or fashion gloves with a vinyl overlay.
