Slide fasteners; fitted with chain scoops of base metal
Heading 9607 — Slide fasteners and parts thereof
Chapter 96: Miscellaneous manufactured articles
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 960711 when importing or exporting slide fasteners that are fitted with chain scoops made of base metal. These are commonly found in zippers used for clothing, bags, and outdoor gear, ensuring secure closures.
This code specifically covers slide fasteners that include chain scoops, distinguishing them from other types of fasteners like plastic or textile-based ones. For instance, if you have a zipper for a leather jacket with metal scoops, this is the correct classification.
When considering similar products, HS-6 960712 applies to slide fasteners that are not fitted with chain scoops of base metal. If your product lacks the metal scoops, you will need to classify it under that code instead.
Understanding the specifics of 960711 helps avoid misclassification. For example, if you're shipping a bulk order of metal zipper pulls without the fastener itself, that would not fall under this code.
