Viscose Touchscreen Gloves
Knitted gloves made of viscose rayon with conductive threads woven into the fingertips, allowing use of touchscreen devices. They lack fourchettes and are made of artificial textile fibres. The conductive threads do not alter the essential character of the gloves as textile articles, so they remain classified under heading 61.16.
