RE: The tariff classification of fishing gloves from China, Hong Kong, Philippines or Taiwan.

Dear Mr. Trout:

In your letter dated March 11, 1998, on behalf of International Marketing Specialist, DBA Fly Technologies, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Model 3120 is constructed with a palm side of knit nylon fabric covered with embossed neoprene rubber. The back of the hand is made with neoprene laminated between knit nylon layers. The glove features pre-curved fingers and an elasticized wrist strap secured with hook and loop fabric. Model 3111 uses the same fabric on the palm and back of the hand. This model's thumb, index and middle digit are of half-finger design. The glove also features a partial elasticized wrist.

Model 3125 is constructed with a palm side (fingertips to wrist) of synthetic leather material. The back of the hand is made with neoprene laminated between knit nylon layers. The glove features pre-curved fingers and an elasticized wrist strap secured with hook and loop fabric. Model 3126 uses the same fabrication and features with a half-finger design on the thumb, index and middle digit.

The essential character of each model is imparted by the palm side material. The cumulation of features on each style show a design for use in the sport of fishing.

The applicable subheading for the models 3111 & 3120 will be 6116.10.0800, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or crocheted: impregnated, coated or covered with plastic or rubber: other gloves . . . all the foregoing specially designed for use in sports.

The applicable subheading for models 3126 & 3125 will be 6216.004600, which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts: other: of man-made fibers: other gloves . . . all the foregoing specially designed for use in sports. The rate of duty will be 4.4 percent as valorem for all four models.

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.
