RE: The tariff classification of neoprene gloves from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. McCormack:

In your letter dated December 4, 1992, you requested a classification ruling. As requested, the samples will be returned to you.

You have submitted two samples. Style 876660 is a glove made from neoprene rubber with knitted nylon laminated to both sides with the exception of the palm, and palm-side of the fingers and thumb. That portion is constructed of embossed neoprene over knit nylon fabric.

Style 876661 is a glove made from neoprene rubber with knitted nylon laminated to both sides of the back of the hand. The palm side is constructed of embossed neoprene over knit nylon fabric. The glove also features plastic fourchettes. You have not submitted marketing or advertising information for these gloves. These gloves are not of the class or kind used in a particular sport.

The applicable subheading for the 876660 will be 6116.10.4515, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or crocheted: impregnated, coated or covered with plastics or rubber: other: without fourchettes: cut and sewn from pre-existing machine-knit fabric that is impregnated, coated or covered with plastics or rubber: other, containing over 50 percent by weight of plastics or rubber.
