Button of coconut shell or wood

Buttons made from coconut shell or wood

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9606 29 10 (buttons of coconut shell or wood) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles within Chapter 96 — and fasteners or haberdashery items under sibling headings — may carry different compliance obligations depending on material composition and end use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to buttons of coconut shell or wood; buttons of plastics, metal, or covered textile materials fall under separately classified tariff lines within Heading 9606 and may attract distinct obligations. If customs examination leads to a material re-classification — for instance, a composite button whose primary material is disputed — retrospective compliance and detention pending re-examination can follow. Verify the declared material composition against the physical goods before filing the bill of entry.
