They lack fourchettes and provide protection against abrasions, chemicals, and liquids in construction and manufacturing. Classified under HTS 6216.00.19.00 due to the high plastic content and specific construction from pre-impregnated woven fabric.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify plastic/rubber content exceeds 50% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification; retain certificates for CBP review
• Ensure labeling indicates material composition and country of origin; common pitfall is misdeclaring as textile-only gloves
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'without fourchettes' and pre-woven fabric source to avoid reclassification
