The pillowcase measures approximately 18 inches square and has piping around the seams and a zipper opening on one side for insertion of a throw pillow.

The applicable subheading for the imitation leather pillowcase will be 3924.90.1050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of plastics: Other: Curtains and drapes, including panels and valances; napkins, table covers, mats, scarves, runners, doilies, centerpieces, antimacassars and furniture slipcovers; and like furnishingsOther.
