RE: The tariff classification of a disposable polyethylene glove
from Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Watson:
In your letter dated December 23, 1991, on behalf of Work
Well Company, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Your submitted sample is a transparent disposable glove made
from embossed polyethylene. The ambidextrous glove is formed
using two sheets of clear polyethylene that are cut and heat
sealed to form a seam around the edges of the hand, fingers and
thumb. It is the type of glove intended to be disposed of after
one time use.
The applicable subheading for the glove will be
3926.20.4010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for articles of apparel and clothing
accessories (including gloves): gloves: Other: other, disposable.
The rate of duty will be 14 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
