The canteen is imported and sold with a fitted textile cover which incorporates a loop in the rear for attachment to a belt. The plastic canteen, cup and cover are considered a composite good. The essential character is imparted by the canteen. The sample is being returned, as you requested.

If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Jean F.
