Product description
Two samples identified only by color accompanied your request for a ruling. The first, designated as blue, is a lanyard made of nylon jacquard woven fabric with a steel snap hook sewn onto the end. This article has been formed into a loop of approximately 30 inches in circumference by sewing and is designed to hang around a person’s neck. The snap hook sewn into the end can be used to hook onto an I.D. card or name tag but may also be used to hold a set of keys.

A metal ferrule has been used to crimp the ends of the fabric together creating a loop approximately 30 inches in circumference which will be worn around a person’s neck. A small plastic ring has been threaded on to the lanyard and provides the mechanism by which a clasp such as a snap hook may be attached to the lanyard. Your correspondence indicates that this product will also be used as a mechanism to display an I.D. card. Based on value, quantity and function, the essential character of this item has been imparted by the textile fabric.
