Zip fasteners

Zip fasteners fitted with base metal chain scoops

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9607 11 10 (zip fasteners fitted with chain scoops of base metal) 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 — miscellaneous manufactured articles — or fastener parts classified separately under heading 9607 may carry distinct compliance considerations depending on material composition and end use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: parts of slide fasteners — sliders, pulls, top stops, bottom stops — are separately classifiable under heading 9607, and customs re-examination of a mixed shipment can trigger reclassification with retrospective duty recovery. Verify that the goods are complete zip fasteners fitted with base metal chain scoops and not components or assemblies that belong to a more specific heading before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9607 11 10 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 parts of slide fasteners rather than complete zip fasteners?

Parts of slide fasteners are separately classifiable within heading 9607 and may attract a different duty rate, making accurate classification critical before filing the bill of entry.
