Nitrile-Coated Cotton Work Gloves from Canada
Heavy-duty gloves cut and sewn from cotton canvas fabric pre-impregnated with nitrile rubber on the palms and fingers for enhanced grip and protection. Designed for industrial handling tasks, they lack fourchettes and meet the criteria for HTS 6216.00.17 as gloves of vegetable fibers (cotton) coated with rubber without fourchettes. The machine-woven base fabric is coated prior to construction, providing water and abrasion resistance.

Import Tips
• Verify the base fabric is 100% vegetable fibers like cotton; blends over 50% man-made may shift to 6216.00.41
• Document pre-coating of woven fabric with lab tests or supplier affidavits to prove compliance and avoid reclassification
• Inspect for fourchettes (side panels between fingers); their presence requires 6216.00.19, a common misclassification pitfall
