RE: The tariff classification of gloves from China.

Dear Mr. Posner:

In your letter dated November 26, 2002, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Gates-Mills Inc. for the benefit of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Style 2420 is a glove constructed of synthetic leather at the upper palmside which does not reach the wrist and also on a portion of the backside forefinger. The remainder of the glove is made of neoprene sandwiched between a camouflage printed knitted fabric on the outer surface and a fleece fabric on the underside. The glove features a backside vented wrist tightener which is secured by hoop and loop fasteners, an elasticized palmside wrist, and fourchettes.

Style 2985 is a lined and insulated gauntlet glove constructed of a camouflage printed knitted polyester fabric outer shell. The lower portion of the palmside thumb is made of a solid black stretch knitted fabric. The glove features a camouflage printed coated fabric overlay at the center of the palm, coated fabric overlays on the palmside fingertips, an inner waterproof barrier, a partially elasticized wrist with a backside adjustable wrist strap, a drawstring tightener at the gauntlet hemmed bottom, fourchettes and sidewalls, and a hoop and clasp.

Style 2947 is a lined and insulated gauntlet glove constructed of a camouflage printed knitted polyester fabric outer shell. The pinky is made of a finely knitted camouflage printed fabric. The lower portion of the palmside thumb is made of a solid black stretch knitted fabric. The glove features camouflage printed coated fabric overlays at the center of the palm and on the palmside fingertips of the thumb and three fingers, an inner waterproof barrier, an elasticized wrist with a backside adjustable wrist strap, a fleece fabric cuff sewn at the hemmed glove bottom, fourchettes, and a hoop and clasp.
