Wool-Blend Leather Palm Work Gloves from Mexico
These heavy-duty work gloves feature a shell made primarily of man-made fibers with fourchettes, blended with 36% wool for warmth and durability, and reinforced leather palms for grip. They fall under HTS 6216.00.58.10 due to the fourchettes construction, high wool content, and man-made fiber base excluding knitted articles. The wool provides insulation suitable for cold-weather manual labor.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥36% wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties
• Include detailed invoices specifying fourchettes construction and material breakdown to avoid reclassification
• Check for country-of-origin rules; wool blends may qualify for preferential duties under certain FTAs
