RE: The tariff classification of gloves from China.
Dear Mr. Schloss:
In your letter dated September 21, 2012, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample submitted will be returned.
The sample submitted, “Rowing Glove”, is a half fingered glove constructed of 80% polyester synthetic leather and 20% polyurethane coating. The glove features a tight fit, an open back, elastic loops on the backside fingers and thumb excluding the small finger, palmside air holes, an elasticized hook and loop closure and a knit fabric on a portion of the backside thumb. The culmination of features shows a design for use in the sport of rowing.
You mention other styles in the ruling; however, only one sample was received by this office. If you want a ruling on another style or styles, submit samples with your documentation.
