The samples submitted are bags used to hold heat packs. The bags are identified as a back wrap, neck wrap, number 410, number 304, and number 818. The back wrap, neck wrap, number 410 and number 818 are constructed of woven nylon fabric on one side and knit pile fabric on the other side. The sample marked number 304 is made of woven nylon fabric on one side and neoprene on the other side. All of the bags have one open end for the insertion, after importation, of a heat pack. The back wrap and neck wrap have a hook and loop fasteners for closure. Item number 410 has a flip top type closure. Item number 304 has an open end with no type of closure. Item number 818 has a zipper for the closure. The bags except for item number 304 are designed with straps so that they can be secured to various joints or muscles of the body. The samples are of various sizes ranging from 5" x 4" to 44" x 6".

The applicable subheading for the "Heat Pack Bags" will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles...Other. The rate of duty will be 7 percent ad valorem.
