HS Code for Knitted gloves
Knitted gloves are classified under HS code 6116.99 because they fall within Chapter 61, which covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6116 is specifically dedicated to gloves, mittens, and mitts. The classification is determined by the manufacturing process (knitting) and the material composition. Subheading 6116.99 acts as a residual category for gloves made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This includes materials such as silk, linen, hemp, or ramie. To be classified here, the gloves must not be impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber, as those features would trigger a different classification within the same heading. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6 are applied to identify the specific heading and subheading based on the constituent material and the knitted construction.

Common Misclassification
Knitted gloves are frequently misclassified under 6116.10 if the importer fails to notice plastic or rubber coatings; 6116.10 is reserved for gloves impregnated or covered with these materials. Another common error is using 6116.91 (wool), 6116.92 (cotton), or 6116.93 (synthetic fibers) for gloves made of blended materials where the "other" textile does not actually predominate by weight. Furthermore, gloves that are not knitted but are made of woven fabric are classified in Chapter 62 under heading 6216.00.
