The palm is padded, and has an overlay reinforcement covering the crotch of the thumb and index finger which extends over part of the back of the index finger. The back of the glove is of a fleece knit fabric, and you state that there is a windproof film laminated between two layers of this fabric. The glove also features an adjustable wrist strap and a hook and clasp. The wrist is elasticized on the inside of the hand only.

The applicable subheading for this glove will be 6216.00.4600, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts: other: of man-made fibers: other gloves, mittens and mitts, all the foregoing specially designed for use in sports, including ski and
