The garment has a neck strap, partial zipper at the back and laces with metal grommets at the front. The halter top has sufficient bust coverage and extends below the waist.

 The applicable subheading for the Style HUQA191 Hustler Cheerleader Costume will be 6211.43.0091, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for "Track suits and swimwear; other garments: Other garments women’s or girls’: Of man-made fibers, Other."
