Last updated: April 2026 dataEveryday and occupational leather gloves — dress gloves, work gloves, and driving gloves — fall here provided they are not designed for sports use, which is the key exclusion separating this heading from sport-specific glove classifications. The distinction between 'designed for sports' and general-purpose use is determined by construction features and marketing intent, not simply the buyer's end use. Importers sourcing multi-purpose gloves marketed for both work and recreational activity should obtain a binding ruling to avoid misclassification penalties.

Customs authorities look at objective design features — padded palms, reinforced grip zones, sport-specific cut patterns, or labeling explicitly for a sport — rather than the buyer's actual use. A plain leather driving or work glove without sport-specific construction typically stays in this heading, while a cycling or golf glove with purpose-built features would be classified elsewhere.
Depending on the country of origin and the specific HTS subheading, leather gloves may be subject to Section 301 tariffs or other trade-remedy measures. Importers should verify current applicability with a licensed customs broker, as remedy coverage can change and varies by tariff line.
