6216.00.90.00 - Other (831)

This HTS category, 6216.00.90.00, encompasses a broad range of textile gloves, mittens, and mitts that are not knitted or crocheted, and are not specifically classified under other subheadings within heading 6216. This includes items made from fabrics other than wool or fine animal hair, providing a catch-all for a wide variety of apparel accessories designed for hand protection or adornment. Examples might include gloves made from cotton, synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon, or blends thereof, intended for general use, work, or fashion.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6216.00.80.00, which is exclusively for gloves, mittens, and mitts constructed from wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, any textile hand coverings made from these specific animal-derived fibers would be classified under the sibling category, not this one. The selection of the correct classification hinges directly on the primary material composition of the textile article.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions under 6216.00.90.00 will therefore rely on a thorough examination of the material of origin and the exclusion criteria defined by other more specific headings and subheadings within Chapter 62, particularly those related to knitted or crocheted goods and specific material types. The "Other (831)" descriptor indicates that this category serves to capture all remaining textile gloves, mittens, and mitts that do not fit into more narrowly defined classifications.
