The fabric is slightly napped on both sides. The blankets have rounded corners and the edges are finished with an overcast stitch. They measure 30 x 34 inches. One blanket is printed and the other is dyed a solid color. As requested the sample is being returned.

The applicable subheading for style HBF2RB will be 6301.30.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for blankets (other than electric blankets) and traveling rugs, of cotton… woven. The duty rate will be 8.7 percent ad valorem.
