HS code 6116.99 is the 6-digit subheading for gloves, mittens and mitts, of textile materials (other than wool or fine animal hair, cotton or synthetic fibres), knitted or crocheted, (other than impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber).

What HS 6116.99 covers
This HS code serves as a residual category for knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers, and not impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated. This includes items made from specialty natural fibers like silk, linen, ramie, or blends where no single fiber from the other specific categories predominates. International trade in this segment often caters to niche markets, luxury consumers, or those seeking unique material properties such as extreme lightness, specific textures, or hypoallergenic qualities. Importers are typically high-income countries with discerning consumers, while exporters might be countries known for specific textile craftsmanship or unique fiber cultivation. The trade volume is generally lower than for more common fiber types, but the products often command higher unit values due to their specialized nature and material composition.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
