The submitted duvet cover is referred to as Pure Imprint, relative style number prefix PED740173. It is comprised of a face and back panel. Both panels are made from 100 percent cotton woven fabric. The face fabric is printed and not napped. The back fabric is plain and not napped. One end of the cover features a button/buttonhole closure. The face panel is made up from multiple squares of self-fringed fabric. These patchwork squares are sewn together one inch below the fringed edges allowing the fringed edge to stand away from the body of the duvet. The fringed edges are also sewn together to prevent further unraveling. A faced strip of fringed fabric is inserted in the edge seam of the top and sides. This 1-1/2 inch wide strip is considered edging or trimming. The applicable subheading for the duvet cover will be 6302.21.5050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen: other bed linen, printed: of cotton: containing any embroidery, lace, braid, edging, trimming, piping or appliqué work: not napped… other.
