Product description
You have submitted a sample of a 100% polyester embroidered sports patch measuring 3 inches by 4 1/2 inches. The sample is put up for retail sale, and it is the type of motif that is intended to be sewn on to a hat or garment. The badge depicts NHL Rangers' team player Mike Richter; however, we assume the sample is representative of other identical patches in the series, except for teams and players names. Embroidery sewing, measuring 1/8 inch in width, forms a decorative fast edge around the border of the patch.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the patch will be 5810.92.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for embroidery in the piece, in strips or in motifs; other embroidery; of man-made fibers; badges, emblems and motifs.
