Dear Ms. Tumbarello: In your letter dated June 13, 1997, you requested a classification ruling. The provided sample, style MU3-10, is a fleece lined, open cuff glove. A woven nylon outershell with an inner coating comprises the palmside from the fingertips to wrist, the fourchettes, cuff piping and half of the palmside open cuff. The remainder of the outershell including the backside of the glove, backside of the thumb, and the other half of the palmside open cuff is constructed of a polyfleece material. The glove features an elasticized wrist, a hook and glasp, and a backside textile strap with a hook and loop closure. The applicable subheading for style MU3-10 will be 6216.00.2925, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Gloves, mittens and mitts: impregnated, coated or coated with plastics or rubber: other: with fourchettes: containing 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers or any combination thereof, subject to man-made fiber restraints. The duty rate will be 13.8 percent ad valorem. Style MU3-10 falls within textile category designation 631.
