Both are woven with chenille yarns. The pillow shell is stated to be 100 percent rayon. It measures 18 inches square. The shell is sewn along three sides with a 4 inch unfinished opening on the fourth side. After importation the shell will be stuffed and sewn closed. The fiber content of the throw is stated to be 75 percent rayon and 25 percent acrylic. The sample throw measures 50 x 60 inches but will also be available in a 42 x 60 inch size. Two edges are finished with a 6 inch knotted fringe. The instant samples are a solid color, but you indicate in your letter that the throw and pillow shell will be available in a variety of plaid patterns.

If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your local Customs office.
