Rubber-Coated Cotton Work Gloves
Heavy-duty gloves made primarily from cotton with palms and fingers coated in natural rubber for enhanced grip and protection. They are knitted or crocheted and lack fourchettes, classifying under HTS 6116.10.55.20 due to the plastic/rubber coating and fiber content over 50% cotton/man-made fibers, subject to man-made fiber restraints.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing over 50% wool or fine animal hair
Wool-dominant coated gloves shift to wool subheading, escaping man-made fiber restraints but potentially facing different quotas.
If not knitted or crocheted (woven construction)
Chapter 62 covers non-knitted gloves; woven cotton/rubber-coated gloves classify there, altering duty rates and restrictions.
If sold as industrial safety gloves with minimal textile
Rubber-dominant gloves (less than 50% textile) may classify as rubber articles, bypassing textile chapters and quotas entirely.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% cotton/man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to lower headings
• Provide coating specifications (e.g
• rubber thickness) in documentation to prove 'impregnated, coated' status under Chapter 61 notes
• Watch for man-made fiber restraint quotas (631); apply for licenses early and monitor USITC updates to prevent entry denials
