The garment is sleeveless and has a two-toggle front closure, a fringe at the bottom, a self-fabric facing and a leather-like capping along the front edges. The back length is approximately thirty-one inches, excluding the fringe.
The applicable subheading for style # 7618398 will be 6202.11.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks and other coats, of wool or fine animal hair.
