It is manufactured of a textile material consisting of 50% wool, 40% acrylic and 10% alpaca. The handbag is in chief weight of wool. The bag features a top zipper closure and a leather-carrying strap. Your sample is being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the handbag of wool will be 4202.22.8080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for handbags, whether or not with shoulder strap, including those without handle, with outer surface of textile materials, other, other, other.
