Tariff classification of imported mixed lots of polyester knitted fabrics requires evidence of the actual composition of goods covered by each Bill of Entry. A description as "polyester knitted fabric" does not, without testing or other cogent evidence, establish the characteristics needed to reclassify mixed assorted fabrics as fabrics of synthetic fibres.
