Protective gloves of leather or composition leather, for all trades

Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

Duty rate

Explanatory notes to heading 4203 3 paragraphs

Machine translation from Russian. The original is the EEC explanatory note, and that is what a classification dispute is argued from; the translation is for understanding and has no legal force.

This heading covers all articles of apparel and clothing accessories (except those referred to below), of leather or of composition leather. It therefore includes coats, jackets, gloves, mittens and mitts (including sports or protective ones), aprons, sleeve protectors and other protective clothing, braces, belts, straps, shoulder belts and bandoliers, sashes, ties and wrist straps. It also covers cut strips of leather, tapered at one end, identifiable as blanks for belts. Gloves, mittens and mitts of leather and furskin or of leather and artificial fur fall in this heading in all cases. With the exception of gloves, mittens and mitts, articles of apparel and clothing accessories of leather or of composition leather lined with furskin or artificial fur, or to which furskin or artificial fur is attached on the outside, except where the furskin or artificial fur is mere trimming, fall in heading 4303 or 4304. Goods are classified in this heading whether or not they incorporate electric heating elements. Articles of this heading may have parts of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal, of natural or cultured pearls, or of precious or semi-precious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed), even if such parts constitute more than mere

fittings or minor ornamentation, provided that this does not change the essential character of the article. Thus, for example, a leather belt with a gold buckle is to be classified in this heading (see Note 3 (B) to this Chapter). The heading also excludes: (a) articles of apparel or clothing accessories of leather tanned with the hair or wool on, in particular of sheepskin or lambskin leather (Chapter 43); (b) articles of apparel of textile materials with leather reinforcements (Chapter 61 or 62); (c) articles of Chapter 64 (e.g., footwear and parts of footwear); (d) headgear or parts thereof of Chapter 65; (e) cuff-links, bracelets or other imitation jewellery (heading 7117); (f) watch straps (heading 9113); (g) articles of Chapter 95 (e.g., sports equipment such as protective pads for cricket, hockey, etc., or protective equipment for sports, e.g., fencing masks and breastplates). (However, leather sports clothing and leather sports gloves, mittens and mitts fall in this heading); (h) buttons, press-fasteners, snap-fasteners, button moulds or other parts of these articles, button blanks (heading 9606). Subheading Explanatory Note. Subheading 4203 21 The term "gloves, mittens and mitts, specially designed for use in sports" means gloves, mittens and mitts, sold singly or in pairs, designed to provide maximum comfort when practising a sport (for example, hockey gloves, which protect the hands and improve the grip on the stick, and boxing gloves).
