Alpaca Knitted Muffler from Japan
A cozy neck muffler crocheted from natural alpaca fiber, providing superior insulation. It qualifies for HTS 6117.10.60.20 as an 'other' knitted muffler accessory, distinct from hooded or fiber-specific categories. The made-up, ready-to-wear construction places it firmly in Chapter 61 for knitted accessories.
