garment features a partial zipper opening at the neck and a

two side seam pockets located at the waist.

Hong Kong are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

your local Customs office.

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported.
