RE: The tariff classification of gloves from China.

In your letter dated January 25, 2001, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Paris Asia, Ltd. The provided samples will be returned as per your request.

The sample features a sewn on glove cover that can be placed over the fingers or secured with hook and loop fasteners when not in use. Additionally, the glove features a leather palm patch which extends to the thumb and fleece trim on the glove cover .

Style 61001 is a full fingered glove version of style 61002. Style 61001 has leather patches which partially cover the palm extending to the forefinger and cover the palmside thumb.

The glove features a sewn on mitten style cover that can be placed over the fingers or secured with hook and loop fasteners when not in use. Additional features include a coated fabric palm patch which extends to the thumb and a hook and clasp.

In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.
