6216.00.35.00 - Other gloves, mittens and mitts, all the fore- going specially designed for use in sports, including ski and snowmobile gloves, mittens and mitts 🖩

This HTS classification, 6216.00.35.00, covers "Other gloves, mittens and mitts, all the foregoing specially designed for use in sports, including ski and snowmobile gloves, mittens and mitts," excluding those specifically enumerated under the preceding sibling category. The primary characteristic for inclusion here is the specialized design for sporting activities beyond ice hockey and field hockey. This encompasses a broad range of athletic handwear where protection, grip, or thermal insulation for specific sports are paramount.

Unlike the sibling category for ice hockey and field hockey gloves (6216.00.33.00), this classification applies to sports such as skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, cycling, climbing, and other activities requiring specialized hand protection. The key differentiator lies in the intended sport and the specific design features engineered to meet the demands of that particular activity. Therefore, an item designed for warmth and dexterity while skiing would fall under this heading, whereas a glove specifically molded for hockey puck control would be classified elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this category. Classification at this level relies on a thorough assessment of the glove's design, materials, and intended sporting use to ensure it is distinct from other specialized sporting gloves and general-purpose gloves covered by broader classifications within Chapter 62.
