• Intended Use: Clearly define the purpose of the gloves. Sports gloves, medical gloves, or general-purpose gloves will fall under different classifications.
• Coating/Impregnation: Determine if the gloves are coated, impregnated, or laminated with plastics or rubber.
• Accuracy is Key: Selecting the correct HS Code is vital for accurate tax calculation and smooth customs clearance.
• Supporting Documentation: Be prepared to provide documentation (e.g., material composition reports, intended use statements) to support your classification.
• 2025.4.2 Tax Change: Be aware of the additional 30% tariff that will be applied after April 2, 2025, for certain HS Codes.

Please provide more details about the gloves (material, intended use, coating) for a more precise classification. It is also recommended to consult with a customs broker or relevant authority to confirm the correct HS Code for your specific product.
