Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 611693 when importing or exporting knitted or crocheted gloves made from synthetic fibers. For example, if you're shipping a box of polyester gloves for winter sports, this code is appropriate.
This code specifically covers gloves that are not coated, impregnated, or laminated with plastics or rubber. If your gloves are made from materials like nylon or acrylic without any additional coatings, they fall under this classification.
In contrast, HS-6 611694 includes gloves that are coated or laminated, which would change the classification significantly. Ensure you check the material and finish of your products to avoid misclassification.
When dealing with synthetic fiber gloves, consider their intended use. For example, gloves designed for gardening or industrial work may also fit this HS-6, but their end-use can affect other regulatory requirements.
