Last updated: August 2026 dataWarmth, natural moisture management, and premium positioning characterize wool and fine animal hair knitted gloves and mittens, which serve both outdoor performance and fashion accessory markets. All US imports enter under a single 10-digit line, 6116910000. China leads supply, with Vietnam and Italy also among the top sources — Italy's presence reflecting the luxury cashmere and merino accessory segment. Importers of cashmere or alpaca gloves should be prepared to substantiate fine-animal-hair fiber content, as CBP may request documentation distinguishing fine from coarse animal hair.

CBP may request laboratory fiber-analysis reports confirming the fiber type (e.g., cashmere from Cashmere goat) and the percentage by weight. Supplier-issued fiber-content certificates are a starting point, but for high-value cashmere or alpaca gloves, independent laboratory testing is advisable. The distinction between fine and coarse animal hair is defined in the HTS Chapter 51 notes and affects both classification and duty.
Classification under 611691 depends on the chief weight of the textile material. If wool or fine animal hair constitutes the greatest weight among the component fibers, the gloves are classified here. If synthetic fibers predominate by weight, the article would instead fall under heading 611692 (cotton) or the synthetic/other glove headings. Accurate fiber-content breakdowns from the manufacturer are essential for borderline blends.
