(B)

Articles made of skins or of other parts of birds with their feathers or down, articles made of feathers, of down or of parts of feathers, even if the feathers or down, etc., are unworked or merely cleaned, but not including articles made of scapes or quills. The heading therefore includes:

(2)

Feathers assembled in the form of clusters, and feathers or down assembled by glueing or fixing on textile fabric or other base.

(3)

Trimmings made of birds, parts of birds, of feathers or down, for hats, boas, collars, capes or other articles of apparel or clothing accessories.
