π I. Product Definition & Classification: What exactly is HS 6116.10.65.00?
The HS Code 6116.10.65.00 falls under Chapter 61 (Articles of Apparel and Clothing Accessories, Knitted or Crocheted). Specifically, it refers to:

- Note: If the coating/covering is less than the surface layer itself, it may still qualify. If it is purely for decorative purposes without functional protection, classification may differ.
- Exclusions: This code excludes:
- Gloves made entirely of cotton (see 6116.99.35/30/etc.).
- Gloves made of synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, nylon) unless coated/laminated with plastic/rubber.

Typically, "coated/laminated" gloves attract the same base MFN and Section 301 duties as other knitted gloves in this category. We will infer the rate based on the6116.10.95.00structure, but verification is critical*.
π° III. Detailed Tariff Analysis & Calculation (US Market)
π― 1. General Classification Logic for 6116.10.65.00
Although not explicitly in the provided JSON, 6116.10.65.00 belongs to the same HTS subheading family as 6116.10.95.00. Based on the provided data for 6116.10.95.00, we can deduce the following structure:
| Component | Rate | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MFN (Most Favored Nation) | 7.0% | Base duty for China-origin goods |
| Section 301 Duty | 7.5% | Additional tariff under US Trade Act |
| Section 122 Duty | 10.0% | Additional tariff under specific trade provisions |
| Total Weighted Rate | ~24.5% | 7.0% + 7.5% + 10.0% |
Calculation Example:
For a shipment of Gloves (HS 6116.10.65.00) valued at $10,000:
- Base Duty: $10,000 Γ 7.0% = $700
- Section 301: $10,000 Γ 7.5% = $750
- Section 122: $10,000 Γ 10.0% = $1,000
- Total Duty Payable: $2,450 (24.5%)
π οΈ IV. Customs Clearance Practical Advice
β 1. Documentation Requirements
| Document | Mandatory | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial Invoice | βοΈ | Must clearly state: "Knitted gloves, coated with plastic/rubber" |
| Product Description | βοΈ | Avoid vague terms like "Gloves"; specify material and coating |
| Material Composition | βοΈ | Confirm % of knitting fiber (e.g., nylon, polyester) |
| Coating Details | βοΈ | Specify if plastic, rubber, PVC, PU, etc. |
| Origin Certificate | βοΈ | Prove China origin (if applicable) to apply correct Section 301/122 rates |
β 2. Classification Tips
- Coating vs. Lamination: Ensure the product is either coated (surface application) or laminated (layer bonded). If it is just "printed" or "embossed" without a continuous plastic/rubber layer, it may NOT qualify under 6116.10, but under 6116.99.
- Sports vs. General Use: Do not classify sports gloves under
6116.10if they are purely synthetic without plastic/rubber coating. Use6116.99.35.00instead (20.3% total tax) if applicable. - Cotton Conflict: If the glove is cotton-based and not coated, it may fall under different subheadings with different tax implications. Ensure the material matches the knitted category correctly.
β 3. Risk Mitigation
- Avoid Misclassification: Misclassifying coated gloves as uncoated (
6116.99.xxxx) can lead to underpayment of duties and penalties. - Verify Section 122 Applicability: Section 122 tariffs are specific and time-sensitive. Confirm if they are currently active for your shipment date.
- De Minimis Exemption: β NOT ELIGIBLE for de minimis (Section 321) exemption if total value exceeds $800 AND contains Section 301/122 duties. However, even below $800, if classified under 6116.10, duties still apply.
π V. Common Mistakes & Pitfalls
| Mistake | Consequence | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Claiming "No Coating" | Underpayment of duties | Accurately describe plastic/rubber layer |
| Using "Sports Gloves" Code | Higher tax (20.3% vs 24.5%? No, wait: 20.3% is lower, so misclassifying coated as sports might save money, but is illegal if coated) | Correct classification is paramount; penalties for fraud are severe |
| Ignoring Section 122 | Underpayment of 10% | Always check for Section 122 applicability |
| Incorrect MFN Rate | Wrong base duty | Confirm China origin vs. other countries |
π VI. Global Comparison (Summary)
| Country | HS Code | Base Duty | Additional Duties | Total Est. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| πΊπΈ USA | 6116.10.65.00 | 7.0% | 301 (7.5%) + 122 (10%) | ~24.5% |

| π¬π§ UK | 6116.10.65.00 | 4.5% | None | 4.5% |
Note: EU and UK tariffs are significantly lower. If exporting to the US, consider supply chain adjustments to mitigate high duties.

About HS Code Classification
The Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardized nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to classify traded products. Over 200 countries use the HS system as the basis for customs tariffs, trade statistics, and import/export regulations.
Each HS code follows a hierarchical structure:
- Chapter (2 digits) β Broad category of goods (e.g., Chapter 84: Machinery and Mechanical Appliances)
- Heading (4 digits) β More specific grouping within the chapter
- Subheading (6 digits) β Internationally standardized breakdown, used by all WCO member countries
- National subdivisions (8-10 digits) β Country-specific extensions for further classification, such as US HTSUS 10-digit codes
Correct HS code classification is essential for smooth customs clearance, accurate duty payment, and compliance with trade regulations. Misclassification can lead to customs delays, overpayment of duties, or penalties.
When importing from CN to US, the applicable tariff rates may include:
- Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate β The standard duty rate applied to WTO members
- General rate β Applied to countries without trade agreements
- Trade remedy duties β Additional tariffs such as Section 301 (anti-dumping), Section 232 (national security), or countervailing duties
