For tariff purposes, this material is considered a plastic material. The shell has a zipper. After importation, the shell will be filled with a foam block to form a mattress. As you requested, the sample will be returned.

The applicable subheading for the mattress shell will be 3926.90.9880, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other articles of plastics, other. The rate of duty will be 5.3 percent ad valorem.
