In your letter dated June 8, 2005, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted samples will be returned as per your request.

Style FG6403697 is a lined and insulated girl’s glove with an outershell constructed of a 51% nylon 49% polyester woven fabric with a coated underside. The glove features a snowflake design embroidered on the backside, a waterproof barrier, padded internal knuckle reinforcement, an elasticized wrist, a coated fabric overlay at the center of the palm which extends to the palmside thumb, a ribbed knit cuff extending from the gauntlet bottom, a hook and clasp, and fourchettes. The cumulation of features shows a design for use in the sport of skiing.

The mitten features a waterproof barrier, padded internal knuckle reinforcement, an elasticized wrist, a coated fabric overlay at the center of the palm which extends to the palmside thumb, a ribbed knit cuff extending from the gauntlet bottom, and a hook and clasp. The cumulation of features shows a design for use in the sport of skiing. The item will also be available in a glove version as Style FG6404897.
