The grooming pad at the thumb portion measures approximately 1" wide by 3 1/4" long and is molded with two rows of flexible rubber bristles. The essential character of this article is imparted by the rubber bristles.

The applicable subheading for the Pet Grooming Mitt will be 9603.90.8050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Brushes...Other: Other: Other. The rate of duty will be 5% ad valorem.
