Thanks Jim.  That official tag info is what I was looking for.  I'm not at
the shop today so I couldn't fish through the curtains I have on the shelf
and if I didn't get that info to customs today I would get dinged for
another day's storage.

Cheers,

Jeff

The tag is right on any material commercial product.  Mine say 100%
polyester  for an 82 brown and a single I have of a later color also says
100% polyester.  However that may not relate at all to what you are
receiving now.  The reason customs wants it is the tax rate.  Cotton and
wool have very high rates and poly should be near the bottom.
