RE: The tariff classification of gloves from China.

Dear Ms. Heinold:

In your letter dated September 16, 1996 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Five samples were submitted by your office, followed by copies of pages of your 1997 catalog.

The glove features an insulated lining, fourchettes, and partially elasticized wrist. The essential character of the glove is imparted by the neoprene coated knit fabric palm.

Sample TEC-200 is a woven polyester glove with a sheepskin palm patch extending across the thumb and forefinger. The glove features an insulated lining, fourchettes, a partially elasticized wrist and a ribbed knit cuff. The essential character of the glove is imparted by the woven polyester fabric outer shell.

Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your local Customs office.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Brian Burtnik at 212-466-5880.
