The front features one zippered pocket. It measures approximately 7 inches (W) by 4.5 inches (H) by 2.5 inches (D).
The applicable subheading for the fanny pack will be 4202.92.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for travel, sports, and similar bags, with outer surface of sheeting of plastic, other. The general rate of duty will be 20 percent ad valorem.
