Product description
You submitted samples of style 5465, Red Ranger Standard, style 5466, Blue Ranger Standard, style 5467, Green Ranger Standard, and style 5468, Pink Ranger Standard, which are being returned per your request. The costumes are identical except for color and consist of a jumpsuit with attached belt and a mask, with the jumpsuit imparting the essential character. Although the jumpsuit has well-made styling (attached belt) and a well-made neck, it has a flimsy waist and flimsy seams, a flimsy hook and loop tab closure, and visible overlock stitching at the collar, arms, ankle, and closure. These costumes meet the flimsy, non-durable requirements for classification within Chapter 95 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS).
