The glove has a full exterior palmside from fingertips to wrist constructed of a pigskin leather over a combination gel and foam inner lining. The backside of the glove and fourchettes are made of a knitted spandex fabric. The glove also features a knitted nylon fabric cuff.
Please note that Rule No. 6 of The Textile Fiber Products Identification Act requires the use of generic fiber names when marking textile products.
The applicable subheading for all styles will be 4203.29.3020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, of leather or of composition leather: gloves, mittens and mitts: other: other: other: men's . . . lined. The rate of duty will be 14 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
