HS Code 9607Slide fasteners and parts thereof
3 six-digit codes · Heading 7 of 20 in Chapter 96 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 9607 is the customs heading for zippers, also called zip fasteners, and the parts used to make them. Pick the right six-digit code below, then look at the shipments filed under it.
“Slide fasteners and parts thereof” divides three ways under heading 9607 — 960711, 960719 and 960720. Each carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 7 of 20 in Chapter 96, Miscellaneous manufactured articles, which runs to 49 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 9607 covers: slide fasteners (zippers) and parts
A slide fastener is the closure you open and shut by pulling a small tab. Most people call it a zipper or a zip fastener. Customs calls it a slide fastener. The heading covers the finished fastener and the pieces sold to build one.
You may also see it written as HSN code 9607 or HTS code 9607. The name changes from place to place, but the heading is the same Harmonized System heading set by the WCO.
The heading belongs to the wider group of Chapter 96 miscellaneous manufactured articles, a mixed chapter of everyday goods such as pens, combs and lighters.
What is the HS code for zippers? How to choose between 960711, 960719 and 960720
Ask two simple questions. First, do you have a complete zipper or only parts? Second, if it is complete, does it have chain scoops of base metal? The scoops are the small teeth that lock together along the tape.
Then match your answer to one of these codes:
- 960711: complete slide fasteners fitted with chain scoops of base metal. This is the code for a metal zipper.
- Use it when the teeth are made of something else.
- 960720: parts of slide fasteners. Use it for items sold on their own, not as a finished zipper.

Some products look close to a zipper but sit in another heading. If your item closes with a snap or a stud, check that heading first.
Other neighbours in the chapter are unrelated to fasteners. Heading 9608 covers pens, and heading 9615 covers combs and hair-slides. A hair-slide holds hair, so it is not a slide fastener.
If the wording still leaves you unsure, run your product through the HS code classifier. You can also browse all HS code chapters to see how the system is laid out.
