Import Tips
• Verify textile fiber content exceeds 50% via lab tests to qualify under this subheading; declare exact percentages on entry
• Ensure fourchettes are clearly documented in specs, as this feature distinguishes from other coated glove codes
• Avoid misclassification as leather gloves (4203); provide knitting pattern and coating composition certificates
