Product description
It is manufactured of embossed polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The top opening is secured by two self-strips with hook and loop closures that cross over one another and a front flap that is also secured by a hook and loop closure. The rear of the case features a carry strap of nylon webbing. The article will be imported affixed to a card board header card, in a condition ready to be sold at retail as a rack good. The marking statute, section 304, Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1304), provides that, unless excepted, every article of foreign origin (or its container) imported into the U.S. shall be marked in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly and permanently as the nature of the article (or its container) will permit, in such a manner as to indicate to the ultimate purchaser in the U.S. the English name of the country of origin of the article. We suggest that a label that reads "Made in Taiwan" be sewn into the interior side of the case.
