Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 960630 when importing or exporting button moulds and other parts used to manufacture buttons. For example, if you're shipping a batch of plastic button moulds for clothing production, this code applies.

This code specifically covers moulds and parts for buttons, distinguishing it from HS-6 960621, which pertains to buttons made of plastics. If you're dealing with finished buttons, you'll need to look at that code instead.

The 960630 line includes items like metal or plastic button moulds, as well as parts that are specifically designed for button production. It's crucial to classify your goods correctly to avoid delays at customs.

If you're unsure whether your product fits this code, consider if it is a component used in button manufacturing rather than a finished button itself. This distinction can help streamline your import or export process.
