Product description
The remaining garment portion after laboratory analysis is being returned to you. Style CV0410 is a woman’s sweater which you have stated is constructed of 60% polyester 36% acrylic 4% lurex reverse jersey fabric. The outer surface of the garment measures 9 or fewer stitches per 2 centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The sweater has a full front opening with no means of closure, 1 x 1 ribbed knit trim at the neckline which extends down the front panel edges, and long sleeves. Both the sleeve endings and straight garment bottom have 1 x 1 ribbed knit self start bottoms. The garment is decorated with sequins on the outer surface. The garment extends to below the waist. In order to classify this sample we sent it to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Laboratory to verify its fiber content and to analyze its yarn structure. The Laboratory has reported that the garment is constructed of a 9-ply yarn consisting of the following yarns that are twisted together: two 2-ply polyester yarns, one 3-ply acrylic yarn, one 2-ply non-metalized mylar-type yarn/polyester yarn. The 2-ply non-metalized mylar-type yarn is composed of 1-ply polyester yarn (63.3% by weight) twisted together with a 1-ply non-metalized mylar-type yarn (36.7% by weight). The garment has the following overall composition by weight: 60.7% polyester 37.5% acrylic 1.8% non-metalized mylar-type yarn. Accordingly, the garment is properly classified as a man-made fiber sweater under 6110.30.3020, HTSUS.
