Parts of press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9606 10 20 (parts of press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Finished buttons, button moulds, and button blanks elsewhere in Chapter 96 may attract distinct classification treatment; accurate product description at entry is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to parts of press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs; finished fastener assemblies or button articles classified under sibling lines within Chapter 96 may carry different treatment. Re-classification on customs examination — for example, where parts are assessed as complete fasteners — triggers retrospective compliance obligations, including potential detention pending resolution. Verify that the goods are accurately described as unassembled parts rather than complete functional units before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 9606 10 20 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the goods are complete press-fasteners or snap-fasteners rather than parts?
Complete press-fasteners and snap-fasteners are classified under a separate tariff line within Chapter 96 and should be assessed independently for any applicable compliance requirements.
