Product description
Images were provided in lieu of a sample. The product under consideration is described in your request as the “Grosgrain Bow Clip Set,” SKU HABWGRCL. The set includes two hair clips adorned with bows. Each bow is formed from grosgrain polyester ribbon and is attached to a metal alligator hair clip. The bows measure three and a half inches in width and in height. The two bows within each set differ as the metal clip faces a different direction, right or left, allowing the bows to be worn on different sides of the head. Your submission indicates the bows will come in several different colors. The clip set is attached to a paper card clip holder and includes its own plastic bag for shipping. We agree that the grosgrain polyester ribbon bows would impart the essential character to these hair-slides of heading 9615, General Rules of Interpretation 6 and 3(b) noted.
