Last updated: August 2026 dataExcluding surgical and medical examination gloves — which fall under a separate heading — these vulcanized rubber gloves span industrial, household, and apparel end uses. The US schedule distinguishes seamless disposable gloves (4015191110), seamless non-disposable gloves (4015191150), apparel and clothing accessory gloves (4015195100), and a catch-all line for mittens and mitts (4015190100). Malaysia and Thailand dominate US supply, with Vietnam also a significant source, reflecting the region's deep natural-rubber processing infrastructure. Importers should note that gloves marketed for any medical purpose may trigger FDA device classification, shifting the applicable regulatory pathway.

The schedule separates seamless disposable vulcanized rubber gloves (4015191110) from seamless non-disposable gloves (4015191150), and both differ from the apparel/clothing-accessory glove line (4015195100). The disposable vs. non-disposable distinction affects duty treatment and is determined by the glove's intended single-use design, not solely its material.
Gloves labeled or marketed for surgical or medical examination use are excluded from 401519 and classified under 401511. If a glove is promoted for any medical purpose, FDA may treat it as a Class I or Class II device, requiring compliance with 21 CFR Part 880 and potentially a 510(k) clearance. Importers should confirm intended use labeling before entry to avoid misclassification.
