22 Down
The purified new undercoating of waterfowl (duck, goose or swan) consisting of the light, fluffy filaments but without any quill shaft.

Note. - It is permissible to use the term " down quilt " as a generic description for the type of quilt which is known by that name, since this usage is well understood by the public. Where, however, any individual quilt described under this general heading is not filled with down, as defined, the description of such quilt must be qualified by the name of the actual material content.

(c) Goose Feathers - Any of the purified new feather plumage of geese. Milled Feathers - Any of the purified new feathers as described above which have been crushed, chopped, stripped or ground.
