Austrins Clark Hill PLC 150 North Michigan Ave. Suite 2700 Chicago, IL 60601 RE: The tariff classification of gloves from China. Dear Ms. Austrins: In your letter dated June 10, 2014, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample submitted, style 1047-31OT is a man’s full-fingered hunting glove constructed of 100% polyester knit fleece fabric with the exception of the palm side trigger finger which is constructed of spandex. The spandex fabric allows for a tighter and more sensitive trigger finger. The glove features a camouflage design, fourchettes, non-skid palm and thumb patches, a backside elasticized wrist, and a hook and clasp. You also state style 1047-L-31OT is the woman’s style of the glove and style 1047-313 is the same man’s glove except it comes in the color, orange blaze. The culmination of features, in conjunction with the marketing and advertising materials, indicate that the gloves have been designed for use in the sport of hunting. The sample will be retained by this office.
