Dear Ms. Fox: In your letter dated February 13, 2003, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The provided sample, Item SKU - 811652, is a clute cut work glove with a palmside from fingertips to wrist and a complete thumb and forefinger constructed of buffalo leather. The backside of the glove is made of a woven fabric. On the backside, leather overlays reinforce the three remaining fingertips, and the knuckle area. The glove also features an inner lining on the palmside, a partially elasticized wrist, and an open woven cuff. In your letter you indicate the glove is not lined and not gender specific, and assert the classification as 4203.29.4000, HTS. Subsequently, you have advised verbally that the glove will be imported in one size only.
