Headings: 6506
Product description
The submitted sample, called a sun visor/head-hair band, is composed of a peak of polycarbonate plastic film edged with polyester fabric attached to a plastic head/hair band that is completely covered with polyester fabric. The sun visor features a textile plait with metal clip. The head-hair band can be disassembled from the sun visor and worn separately. The head-hair band, when disassembled from the peak, contains two small holes on the side of the band. Examination of the item reveals that it useable as a decorative headband, but not as a hair band for holding hair in place. When the item is not disassembled, the polycarbonate plastic peak is worn over the eyes, can be seen through, and is advertised as supplying ultraviolet protection. It is the opinion of this office that the item is essentially a sun visor.
