Last updated: April 2026 data

Woven, leather, and other non-knit construction methods define this heading, which captures dress gloves, work gloves, and fashion mittens made from cut-and-sewn fabric, leather, or synthetic sheet materials. Classification turns critically on construction method — knitted gloves fall elsewhere — and on whether the article is coated or impregnated with plastics or rubber, which can redirect it to a different tariff heading entirely. Importers sourcing from certain origins should verify whether Section 301 exposure applies, as many non-knit textile accessories from major Asian suppliers carry additional duties. Fiber content, lining material, and intended end use (industrial vs. fashion) all affect the applicable HTS subheading.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine whether a glove classifies as 'not knitted or crocheted' versus a knitted glove?

The distinction rests on the fabric construction of the glove body itself. If the shell is made from woven, leather, or other non-knit material — even if it has a knit lining — it generally falls under the non-knit heading. A glove whose outer shell is formed by knitting or crocheting belongs in the knitted gloves heading. When construction is ambiguous, a licensed customs broker or CBP binding ruling can provide certainty.

Does coating a non-knit glove with rubber or plastic change its classification?

Yes. Non-knit gloves that are impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber may be redirected to headings covering rubber or plastic articles rather than textile gloves, depending on the degree of coating and the essential character of the finished article. This is a common classification dispute for industrial work gloves, and a binding ruling from CBP is advisable before large-volume importation.
