RE: The tariff classification of gloves from Honduras.

Dear Mr. Brown:

In your letter dated July 29, 2002, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Three styles were provided for review. Style UFG-PKNI is a clute cut work glove made of a woven cotton fabric with a sewn-on woven open cuff. The glove features an inner lining on the complete palmside and backside thumb and forefinger.

Style AL0001 is a thumbless pigskin leather gauntlet mitt with a vinyl overlay support at the lower half which is secured by two straps with hook and loop fasteners at the wrist. Additionally, the mitt features two vertical hook and loop fastener straps which allow the wearer to grip objects and perform closed fist activities.

Style B0001 is a fingerless bowling glove constructed of a cellular vinyl material with a finely knit fabric backing. The glove has a sewn-in lining made of neoprene sandwiched between knitted fabric. Metal wrist control braces measuring approximately 1” x 6” are fitted in sewn-on pockets on the outer surface of the palmside and backside of the glove. The glove features three straps which are secured by hoop and loop fasteners. The essential character of the glove is imparted by the cellular vinyl outershell material.
