The outer shell is made of 100 percent nylon woven fabric and one side contains multiple layers of a plastic foam inserted in the cover. This item folds in the middle and possess one handle and a shoulder strap for carrying purposes. When folded, one side features two zippered pockets. The other side contains the multiple layers of foam. Affixed to the front of the side containing the foam is a label with the word "Nautica". The two sides are secured by means of a snap closure. This blue stadium seat cushion when folded measures approximately 15 x 16 inches.

The applicable subheading for the stadium seat cushion will be 9404.90.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for mattress supports; articles of bedding and similar furnishing (for example, mattresses, quilts, eiderdowns, cushions, pouffes and pillows) fitted with springs or stuffed or internally fitted with any material or of cellular rubber or plastics, whether or not covered: other: pillows, cushions and similar furnishings: other.
