RE: The tariff classification of gloves from Pakistan.
Dear Mr. Beraznik:
In your letters dated March 25 and May 11, 1998, you
requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style 017, is a football glove with a
palmside from fingertips to wrist and across the thumb
constructed of a PVC coated knitted cotton fabric. You have
indicated that the weight breakdown of the coated fabric is 7.02
grams knitted fabric and 15.79 grams PVC coating. The backside
of the glove is made of a knitted man-made fabric with PVC coated
knit fabric overlays reinforcing the fingertips and the knuckles.
The glove also features an elasticized wrist strap with a hook
and loop closure and a side vent.
Please note that the country of origin marking should be on
the front side of the sewn-on label.
The applicable subheading for the glove will be
6116.10.0800, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for Gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted: impregnated, coated or covered with plastics or
rubber: other gloves, mittens and mitts, all the foregoing
specially designed for use in sports, including ski and
snowmobile gloves, mittens and mitts. The rate of duty will be
4.4 percent ad valorem.
Articles which are classifiable under subheading
6116.10.0800, HTS, which are products of Pakistan are entitled to
duty free treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences
(GSP) upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Brian
Burtnik at 212-466-5880.
