The submitted sample, identified as the adult size Bluddy Convict Costume, consists of a long sleeved jumpsuit, collar with chains, wrist cuffs, fingerless gloves and a mask. GRI 3(b) is applicable when goods are, prima facie, classifiable under two or more headings, and have been put up in sets for retail sale. GRI 3(b) states that the goods “shall be classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives them their essential character.” The flimsy jumpsuit, which is constructed of knit 100% polyester fabric, imparts the essential character of the set. The jumpsuit has raw edges on the sleeves and large, visible, loose overlock stitching with hanging threads on the neck and pant legs. The jumpsuit also features a large back closure with large, visible, loose overlock stitching with hanging threads that is closed by small hook and loop tabs. The costume will be imported under item numbers 5148462 in adult size medium and item number 5148463 in adult size large.
