Cotton-Lined Rubber Fishing Gloves from Canada
These heavy-duty gloves are cut and sewn from pre-existing machine-knit cotton fabric that has been impregnated and coated with rubber for water resistance and grip. Designed for fishing, they provide protection against fish hooks, wet conditions, and cold water while meeting the HTS 6116.10.4810 criteria due to the cotton base fabric under cotton restraints and absence of fourchettes. The plastic/rubber coating enhances durability without changing the primary knitted classification.

Import Tips
• Verify the knit fabric is pre-existing machine-knit cotton coated with rubber/plastics; provide lab tests confirming coating type and cotton content over 50% for restraints
• Include detailed manufacturing process documentation showing cut-and-sewn construction without fourchettes to avoid reclassification
• Monitor cotton restraint quotas (331); apply for licenses early and track usage to prevent entry refusals
