Styles #16 and #26 are similar to style #06 except for the addition of a flock lining and a textured finish across the palm area and at the backside fingertips.
The applicable subheading for all styles will be 3926.20.1050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: articles of apparel and clothing accessories (including gloves): gloves: seamless . . . other: other. The rate of duty will be Free.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
