An attached pillow is covered in 100% polyester pile and is in the shape of a Kreature head. The bag and pillow are stuffed with 100% polyester fibers. The item measures approximately 57” x 30” and features a zipper on one side. The pillow has large bulbous eyes and the front of the sleeping bag contains appliqués to appear as legs of the character.
The applicable subheading for the stuffed sleeping bag will be 9404.30.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sleeping bags: Other. The rate of duty will be 9% ad valorem.
