What decides the code
Leather dress gloves are classified as leather apparel accessories under heading 4203, specifically 4203.29.40.00 for unlined gloves for other persons.
- Material decides the heading: gloves of leather or composition leather fall in heading 4203, while textile gloves go elsewhere.
- Lining changes the line: unlined leather gloves for other persons take 4203.29.40.00, and lined gloves move to a different line under the same heading.
- Use as dress gloves supports the apparel accessory classification rather than a work or protective glove provision.
Common mistakes
- Classifying leather dress gloves under heading 6216 treats them as textile gloves, but the outer material is leather, not textile.
- Using heading 3926 for plastic gloves is wrong because the gloves are leather, not plastic.
- Putting lined leather gloves in 4203.29.40.00 is wrong because that line covers unlined gloves only.
