CBP Ruling N009867 — The tariff classification of a hunting glove from China.

Tariff classification

Headings: 6116

Product description

Style 20572701Y is a youth sized lined and insulated half-fingered glove with a palmside constructed of a knitted polyester fleece fabric and a backside made of a knitted polyester camouflage-printed fabric. The glove features a camouflage-printed sewn-on mitten style cover that can be placed over the fingers or secured with sewn-in magnets when not in use and also a slit across the palmside thumb which allows the wearer to expose their thumb. Additional features include a leather reinforcement at the center of the palm that extends to the forefinger and middle finger opening, a fleece cuff with a leather pull strip, and a hook and clasp. The glove will also be offered in other camouflage prints as style 20572706Y, 20572707Y, and 20572709Y. Noting the features of the glove, we believe it shows design for use in the sport of hunting.
