Nitrile-Coated Industrial Handling Gloves from Germany

Cut and sewn from machine-knit fabric pre-coated with nitrile rubber, these gloves offer abrasion resistance for material handling in warehouses. They fit HTS 6116.10.48 due to the absence of fourchettes and use of pre-coated knit fabric. The nitrile layer ensures protection against oils and cuts.

Import Tips

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as direct-knit; include sewing pattern diagrams in entry docs

• Check for REACH compliance if sourced from EU, as nitrile may involve restricted chemicals
