U.S. imports of cotton knitted gloves, mittens & mitts (HS 611692) totaled $1.7M in April 2026, traded with 32 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Cotton construction spans a wide range of end uses for knitted gloves — from lightweight inspection and liner gloves to jersey work gloves and loop-pile winter mittens — and the US schedule reflects this variety with 13 active 10-digit lines. Classification within 611692 turns on construction method (pre-existing machine-knit fabric vs. cut-and-sewn), pile or nap finish, and whether the article contains four-chette (side panels), distinctions that drive goods to specific lines such as 6116926410 through 6116929400. China and Pakistan lead supply, with Mexico a notable Western Hemisphere source eligible for USMCA preferential treatment subject to applicable rules of origin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the 'four-chette' distinction in classifying cotton knitted gloves?

A four-chette is a narrow strip of fabric inserted between the fingers of a glove to give it a three-dimensional shape. The presence or absence of four-chettes is a key classification variable within heading 611692, with separate 10-digit lines for gloves with and without them. Importers should confirm with manufacturers whether the glove construction includes four-chettes, as this detail directly determines the applicable HTS line.

How does the 'pre-existing machine-knit fabric' construction affect classification of cotton gloves?

Several lines within 611692 (e.g., 6116926410 through 6116926440) apply specifically to gloves made from pre-existing machine-knit fabric — meaning the glove is cut and sewn from a knitted fabric rather than knitted to shape. This construction distinction separates them from fully-fashioned or cut-and-sewn gloves classified under other lines. Importers should obtain manufacturing process descriptions from suppliers to confirm which construction method applies.
