The bonding substance is not visible in cross-section. Style “AK Super Shirt” #5001 features a rib knit crew neckline; long, hemmed sleeves; embroidered logos on the right chest and on the lower portion of the left sleeve; and a hemmed bottom with a curved tail.

If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.
