Product description
You submitted a sample of an item you call the Polar Capz which is a head wrap made up from a woven textile fabric of 65% cotton and 35% polyester. Your product literature indicates that the Polar Capz is designed to be worn on the head to provide a measure of cooling sun protection for the head and neck. You refer to it as a cap but because it is not shaped to conform to the contours of the head it is not considered an article of headgear and is not provided for in Chapter 65, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTSUS). The Polar Capz is 15” wide and 20”long. When placed over the top of the head the head wrap hangs over the top of the shoulders. Three pockets with hook-and-loop tab closures are sewn across the bottom underside to hold ice cubes or ice packs that cool the neck. The item will be imported without ice packs. A hemmed in drawstring along the front allows the wearer to tighten the Polar Capz around their head.
