Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 160/2008

US : Informed Compliance Publication on Classification of Buttons,
Snap-Fasteners, Slide Fasteners and Similar Articles

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has recently issued an informed compliance publication (ICP) entitled "What Every Member of the Trade Community Should Know About: Buttons, Snap-Fasteners, Slide Fasteners and Similar Articles". The ICP provides guidance regarding the classification of buttons, snap-fasteners, slide fasteners and similar articles under US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) 9606 and 9607.

  1. Because of the bulkiness of the ICP, it is not appended to this circular. Interested parties may download it from the CBP's website at http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/
