The top, which is straight across in front ad back, extends from just above the bust to the waist and is held on the body by two narrow straps.

Your samples will be returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the bolero jacket will be 6104.33.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for womens or girls suit-type jackets and blazers: of synthetic fibers: other:. The rate of duty will be 29.1% ad valorem.
