Our response was delayed due to laboratory analysis, during which the sample you submitted was destroyed. Style G06-SP199-R is a unisex hospital gown. In your letter, you state that the garment is constructed from 100% polyester filament yarn and 100% metallic yarn (99% polyester and 1% metallic). The full length garment features a round neckline, long sleeves with rib-knit cuffs, and a full back opening secured by fabric ties at the neck and waist areas. Because of the possible presence of metallic yarns, the garment was forwarded to the Customs and Border Protection laboratory. The results of the laboratory analysis indicate that style G06-SP199-R is constructed wholly of one 1-ply yellow and one 1-ply black multifilament polyester yarns.
