Metal button Hs Code

Metal button harmonized system code

Product Overview Metal buttons classified under HS Code 960622 are precision-manufactured fastening components composed predominantly of metal alloys, designed for durable attachment in various textile and industrial applications. These buttons typically measure between 10 mm to 30 mm in diameter and exhibit high corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and surface uniformity achieved through advanced stamping, plating, and finishing processes. Under the HS Code 960622, metal buttons are subcategorized based on material composition (e.g., brass, stainless steel, aluminum), surface treatment (e.g., nickel-plated, oxidized), and design features (e.g., shank type, flat or domed heads). Their primary commercial applications span across garment manufacturing, upholstery, and accessory production within the retail, food service uniform provisioning, and industrial processing sectors. The product's competitive advantage lies in its compliance with stringent durability and aesthetic standards, ensuring reliable performance in high-wear environments while meeting the exacting specifications required by international buyers and manufacturers. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 960622 is structured as follows: Chapter 96 (Miscellaneous manufactured articles), Heading 9606 (Buttons, press-fasteners, snap-fasteners, button moulds and parts thereof), and Subheading 960622 (Metal buttons). This classification is justified by the product’s primary material composition and functional role as a fastening component. Trade compliance mandates precise packaging protocols, typically involving bulk packaging in moisture-resistant cartons or sealed polybags to prevent corrosion during transit. Preservation measures include the application of anti-tarnish coatings and controlled humidity storage to maintain product integrity. Shipping requirements adhere to international standards for metallic goods, ensuring secure containment to prevent deformation. Quality standards conform to ISO 9001 manufacturing controls and relevant ASTM specifications for metal fasteners, facilitating seamless customs clearance and compliance with WTO trade regulations. This detailed classification and trade specification framework supports accurate customs documentation, tariff determination, and efficient cross-border logistics.
