Product description
The instant sample is a textile furnishing stated to be made from 85 percent silk and 15 percent polyester woven fabric. The item, which you refer to as a wall hanging, measures approximately 31.5 inches square and the warp yarns extend to form a fringe. It features an Ikat design depicting animals, people and other figures. It may be used as a wall decoration or other home furnishing uses. Please note, due to the fact that the wall hanging is constructed of a 85 percent silk and 15 percent polyester fibers, it is classified within a ten digit tariff subheading that provides for furnishings that contain 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Even a slight change in the fiber content may result in a change of classification, as well as, visa and quota requirements. The wall hanging may be subject to U.S. Customs' laboratory analysis at the time of import and if the fabric is other than a 85 percent silk and 15 percent polyester blend it may be reclassified by Customs at that time. As requested the wall hanging is being returned to you.
