RE: The tariff classification of gloves from Pakistan

Dear Mr. Lahmann:

In your letter dated May 23, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The samples provided will be returned.

Two samples were submitted for review. Style 1 is constructed of light weight camouflage-printed 62% cotton and 38% polyester knitted fabric. The glove features a “No Trace” trademark label stitched onto the side seam, an elasticized wrist, a leather overlay that extends across a portion of the palm, and fourchettes that are made of a finely knitted fabric.

Style 2 is a lined and insulated glove constructed of camouflage-printed 100% polyester knitted fabric. The glove features a “No Trace” trademark label stitched onto the side seam, sidewalls, a ribbed knit cuff, a hook and clasp, and complete palmside fingers and thumb made of leather. Additional features include a leather overlay that extends from the middle of the palmside thumb and extends across the middle of the palm to the base of the palmside fingers. Except for a small portion of the palmside wrist, the leather component makes up the greatest surface area of the palmside. In this regard, the essential character of the glove is imparted by the leather palmside.

Your submission asserts that both styles 1 and 2 are designed and will be marketed and sold for use by hunters and shooters. Both styles 1 and 2 show designs for use in the sport of hunting and shooting.

The applicable subheading for the style 1 will be 6116.92.0800, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or crocheted: Other: Of cotton: Other gloves, mittens and mitts, all the foregoing specially designed for use in sports, including ski and snowmobile gloves, mittens and mitts.
