6216.00.58 - With fourchettes

This HTS category, 6216.00.58, encompasses gloves, mittens, and mitts specifically constructed with fourchettes. Fourchettes are small, typically triangular pieces of fabric inserted between the fingers of gloves, providing a more precise fit and improved dexterity. These articles of apparel and clothing accessories are not knitted or crocheted and are made from man-made fibers.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 6216.00.54 (Without fourchettes), by the definitive presence of these inserted pieces between the fingers. Therefore, when classifying an article of this nature, the presence or absence of fourchettes is the primary determining factor at this level.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist based on material composition. Subcategory 6216.00.58.10 is for items containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, while subcategory 6216.00.58.20 covers all other items that meet the criteria of being made of man-made fibers with fourchettes but do not meet the specific wool or fine animal hair content threshold.
