Overview
This HTS category, 9902.13.53, specifically addresses training gloves constructed from knitted or crocheted textile materials. These gloves are intended for training purposes, distinguishing them from general-purpose gloves or those designed for specific sports activities not falling under a "training" designation. The description explicitly excludes gloves made from vulcanized rubber (other than hard rubber) or synthetic textile materials, directing those items to subheadings 4015.19.50 and 6116.93.08 respectively.
As a category within Chapter 99, this classification pertains to temporary legislation and modifications related to import restrictions. It operates under the framework of Section XXII, which encompasses special provisions, temporary legislation, and modifications enacted through trade agreements or pursuant to specific agricultural adjustment acts. Therefore, its application is contingent upon current trade policies and proclamations, differing from the permanent classifications found in earlier chapters of the HTS.
Given that 9902.13.53 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification under this code is definitive for training gloves made from knitted or crocheted textile materials that do not meet the exclusion criteria of vulcanized rubber or synthetic textiles. Importers should carefully verify the material composition and intended use of their gloves to ensure accurate classification under this specific temporary provision.
