Headings: 6301
Product description
As requested the sample is being returned. The instant sample, identified as Style HBOU15THPLOS, is a throw/blanket. The throw/blanket is made from a 100 percent polyester knit fleece fabric. The fabric is printed with a heart design. All of the edges are finished. The throw/blanket measures approximately 46 x 57 inches. The Explanatory Notes to heading 6301, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, state the following, in pertinent part: "Blankets and traveling rugs are usually made of wool, animal hair, cotton or man-made fibers, frequently with a raised pile surface, and generally of thick heavy-texture material for protection against the cold." Based on the foregoing, the submitted sample is more specifically associated with the blankets of heading 6301, HTSUS, as the construction seems to suggest an intended use against cool weather.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for Style HBOU15THPLOS 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.
