The blanket is made from layers of fabric. The top and bottom layers are made from a polypropylene non-woven fabric. The middle layer is made from a needle-punched polyester fabric. The edges of the blanket are capped and it has rounded corners. Stitching in the form of swirls holds all three fabric layers. This item is not considered to be the quilted or stuffed bed coverings of heading 9404. It is designed for protection against the cold. The applicable subheading for the blanket will be 6301.40.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for blankets and traveling rugs, blankets (other than electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of synthetic fibers, other.
