RE: The tariff classification of gloves from China.

Dear Ms. Morelli:

The glove features a leather overlay at the thumb/forefinger crotch, reflective piping material at the backside knuckle area, an elasticized wrist, and a drawstring tightener sewn-in the gauntlet hem. The cumulation of features on the glove shows a design for use in the sport of running.

The applicable subheading for the glove will be 4203.21.8060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, of leather or of composition leather: Gloves, mittens and mitts: Specially designed for use in sports: Other . . .
