Dear Ms. DeJager: In your letter dated September 18, 2012, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Style 9007 is a string knit work glove constructed of 50% polyethylene, 30% polyester, 13% glass fiber and 7% spandex. The glove features an inner lining on the palmside, which is constructed of 63% plastic and 37% polyester woven fabric. The glove also features a tight fitting cuff, an overlock stitch finish at the cuff bottom and the “Hexarmor” trademark on the center backside. You state that we issued ruling N035241 on the same style number on August 25, 2008; however, since the fiber composition changed due to switching manufacturers, you wanted to obtain a new binding ruling.
