Product description
Also submitted is a photograph depicting different styles of pin cushions. The two sewing baskets each consist of a nest of two rectangular shaped boxes with a detached lid. The boxes and lids are made of a cardboard base covered externally and internally with textile woven fabric. The boxes are designed so that the smaller box fits within the larger box. One box is designed with the smaller box featuring a triangular shaped wing at each side with a tassel at the pointed edge. The lids are designed to fit either the larger box or the smaller box. One pin cushion is shaped to represent a chair and the other is shaped to resemble a basket with spools of thread all around the edges. The photograph depicts pin cushions that resemble mini rectangular pillows with tassel attached at each corner, an apple shaped pin cushion, a pin cushion that resembles a shoe and one that resembles a hat. This ruling only applies to the two sewing baskets and all pin cushions except the pin cushion with the spools of thread. If you wish classification for the pin cushion with the spools of thread attached, please resubmit the request along with a sample as well as the fiber content of the threads.
