"Feathers of a kind used for stuffing" means feathers of poultry (in particular goose or duck), of pigeon, of partridge or the like, other than large wing or tail feathers and large feathers rejected on grading. "Down" is the finest and softest part of the plumage of goose or duck in particular and differs from feathers in not having rigid scapes. Such feathers and down are mainly used for stuffing articles of bedding or other articles such as cushions and insulating clothing (for example, anoraks).
