It is wholly made up of multiple nylon coil zippers that are sewn in parallel strips. The textile is wholly of man-made fiber textile material. The pouch measures approximately 8 ¼”(W) x 4 ½”(H). Your sample is being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the travel utility pouch will be 4202.92.3031, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface of textile materials, other, of man-made fibers, other.
