Viscose Touchscreen Gloves from China
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.

Import Tips
• Declare the gloves as knitted gloves of artificial fibres, as the conductive threads are a minor component
• Ensure the gloves are made up articles, not fabric in the piece
• Be aware that if the conductive threads are considered electronic components, the essential character test under Section XI Note 15 may apply
