Classification under 420321 (sports gloves) versus 420329 (other gloves) turns on whether the glove is designed and marketed for a specific sport such as golf, skiing, or cycling. General-purpose or fashion gloves, even if made of the same leather, fall under 420329. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for borderline designs.

Both plain and metal-trimmed leather belts generally fall under 420330 as long as the essential character is leather. If the metal component is so dominant that it changes the article's character, classification could shift; consult a licensed customs broker for hardware-heavy designs.
