Overview
This HTS category, 9902.13.70, specifically classifies batting gloves constructed from man-made fibers. These gloves are distinguished by their design for use in the sport of baseball and feature a distinct strap mechanism that encircles both the wrist and the back of the hand, providing a secure fit. The inclusion in Chapter 99 signifies that this classification is part of temporary legislation or modifications, potentially related to trade agreements or specific import restrictions, and that the definitive classification for these goods would typically fall under subheading 6216.00.46.
Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific code. Therefore, classification within 9902.13.70 hinges on meeting all the descriptive criteria: the material composition (man-made fibers), the intended sport (baseball), and the specific functional design of the wrist and hand strap for securing the glove. This contrasts with other potential classifications for gloves made from different materials or designed for other sports, which would reside in different HTS chapters and headings.
