How to find the HS code for glove (Swiss tariff)
The correct HS code (customs tariff number) for your glove depends on material, manufacturing process, and any coatings applied. Whether your glove is made from rubber, wool, cotton, or synthetic fibres, and how it is produced, determines the 8-digit tariff number. Our tool identifies the exact code for your product.

What determines the tariff number?
- Glove material. Gloves made from vulcanised rubber, wool, cotton, or synthetic fibres receive different classifications. The base material is a primary determinant of your glove's HS code.
- Manufacturing method. Whether the glove is knitted, woven, or produced by other techniques affects its classification. The production method is a central factor in tariff determination.
- Coating and impregnation. Gloves impregnated, coated, or covered with plastic or rubber are classified differently from untreated variants. Surface treatment significantly influences the HS code.
- Glove type. Full gloves, mittens (gloves without fingertips), or boxing mitts are classified separately. The specific glove type is a key distinguishing factor.
