Last updated: July 2026 dataSport-specific end use is the defining classification criterion here: leather gloves designed for a particular sport are broken out at the 10-digit level by activity, including batting gloves (4203212000), baseball and softball fielding gloves (4203214000), cross-country ski gloves (4203215500), downhill ski gloves (4203216000), ice hockey gloves (4203217000), and golf gloves (4203218030). Importers should note that the sport-use designation must be supported by product design features — a general-purpose leather glove cannot be reclassified into a lower-duty sports line without evidence of sport-specific construction. These goods are widely sourced from Asia and are broadly exposed to Section 301 tariff considerations depending on country of origin.

CBP typically examines design features such as sport-specific padding, webbing, finger stalls, or wrist closures that are functionally tied to a particular sport. Marketing materials, product specifications, and the manufacturer's intended-use documentation all support the classification. A general-purpose work or dress glove cannot be reclassified into a sports line solely on the basis of the importer's stated use.
Yes. Batting gloves are classified under 4203212000, while baseball and softball fielding gloves (excluding batting gloves) fall under 4203214000. The distinction matters because the two lines may carry different duty rates, so the specific glove type must be identified on the commercial invoice.
