Code 4203 21 · Heading 4203

Sports gloves made of leather or composition leather

This code covers gloves for sports use made of leather or composition leather. It does not cover non-sports gloves or mittens, which are listed separately. In the tariff, composition leather is material made from leather or leather fibres pressed into sheets; goods whose outer surface is plastic sheeting or textile, often sold as vegan leather, are classified under other codes.
