textile cold pack
cold pack made up from a fabric covered gel pack
You submitted a sample of a 5" x 7" cold pack, item #398242 “Soft Ice Cooler.” The sample will be returned. The cold pack is made up from a fabric covered gel pack. The gel is composed of 74.8 percent water, 23 percent glycerol, 2 percent carboxmethylcelluose sodium and .2 percent other chemicals. The cold pack outer surface is constructed from a nylon woven fabric you state is laminated with plastic, visible to the naked eye because of the shine and iridescence of the fabric. The shine and iridescence of the fabric cannot be taken into consideration as a defining factor. In order for a textile fabric coated with plastics to be classified as an article of plastic, the coating must be visible to the naked eye as per Note 2(a)(1), Chapter 59, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Here, the plastic coating does not obscure the weave pattern. Moreover, you state that the bag is very flexible and since the surface character of the fabric remains unchanged, the coating is not visible to the naked eye. The cold pack is designed to be used with lunch or cooler bags. To use, the cold pack is placed in the freezer for a several hours. Once it is frozen, the gel pack is packed in the cooler bag or any desired food container and it will retain a cool temperature away from home. The cold pack can also be used to soothe and relieve join pain or swelling by placing on the injured area.
