You submitted the following costumes, which meet the flimsy, non-durable requirements for classification in Chapter 95 and are being returned upon your request. Item numbers 6808525, 6808526 and 6808527, Heavenly Angel, are three styles of a textile costume that consists of a white polyester dress, a mesh top skirt, a pair of wings, and a polyester halo, with the dress imparting the essential character.
