RE: The tariff classification of gloves from China.

Dear Mr. Lam:

In your letter dated January 8, 2008, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of your client, Charm Bong Corporation. The samples provided will be returned.

You have indicated that the weight of the coating is less than 50% of the weight of the glove. The glove features a ribbed knit wrist with an overlock stitch finish at the bottom. You state that the fiber content of the glove is 100% cotton.

Style CB3036BK is a pair of children’s knit gloves constructed of 100% acrylic chenille fabric. The glove features an elasticized wrist and a hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for style CB1504RD will be 6116.10.5510, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or crocheted: impregnated, coated or covered with plastics or rubber: other: without fourchettes: other: containing 50 percent or more by weight of cotton, man-made fibers or other textile fibers, or any combination thereof . . . subject to cotton fiber restraints.
