The panels are sewn together at the sides and bottom. The open side is hemmed and folded down exposing the brushed side of the fabric. It features a drawstring twisted cord closure. Item numbers TGT-2 and TGT-3 are constructed of 88 percent metalic/12 percent silk woven sheer fabric panels. The panels are sewn together at the sides and bottom to create the bag. The open side is hemmed and features a drawstring twisted cord closure.

The applicable subheading for the wine bottle 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.
