Product description
As requested, your sample is being returned to you. The submitted sample, style G18020, is a woman’s “Magaschoni” label sleeveless sweater. You have indicated that the garment is constructed from 36% linen, 33% viscose, 25% cotton, 4% polyester, and 2% metallic jersey knit fabric. The outer surface of the garment measures nine or fewer stitches per two centimeters in the direction the stitches were formed. The garment extends from the shoulders to below the waist. The garment features a stand-up rib knit collar, rib knit trim at the arm openings, and a rib knit garment bottom. In order to classify this sample we have sent it to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection laboratory. The laboratory has determined that the garment is composed wholly of metallic yarn. The laboratory has reported that the fabric is made from a 16-ply metallic yarn. The 16-ply metallic yarn is made of two 4-ply rayon/flax yarns (69.8% by weight), two 2-ply cotton yarns (24.5% by weight), and two 2-ply metallic/polyester yarn (5.7% by weight). The two 4-ply rayon/flax yarns consist of two 1-ply rayon yarns (46.5% by weight) twisted with two 1-ply flax yarns (53.5% by weight). The 2-ply metallic yarn consists of a 1-ply polyester yarn (65.7% by weight) twisted with a 1-ply metallic (mylar type) yarn (34.3% by weight).
