The panels are sewn together on all sides and are secured with strips similar to the VELCRO brand fastener. It measures approximately 10” x 3-13/16”.
The applicable subheading for the “Big Sky Strap Wraps” will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles . . . Other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem.
