Quilted piece goods are sold in continuous lengths or cut to shape but not made up into finished articles such as bedspreads or garments. Once the quilted material is cut and sewn into a specific finished product, it typically reclassifies under the heading for that article. The distinction between intermediate material and finished good is therefore determined by the state of manufacture at the time of importation.
