Nokona Alpha Baseball Glove from Germany
Nokona's Alpha series glove uses select steerhide leather for youth baseball players, with an 11.25-inch pattern and I-web for fielding. Falls under HTS 4203.21.40.00 as 'other' leather baseball gloves not catcher-specific. Handcrafted in USA but importable components qualify similarly.

Import Tips
• Use HTS advisory rulings for youth-sized gloves to confirm 'baseball glove' status
• Inspect for metal reinforcements; Chapter Note 3(B) allows minor precious metal but not character-changing
• Package individually to avoid bulk classification issues
