Last updated: April 2026 dataPlastic buttons not covered with textile material are subdivided in the US schedule by resin type: casein-based plastic (9606212000), acrylic or polyester resin (9606214000), and other plastics not elsewhere specified (9606216000) — making material composition documentation from the manufacturer essential for correct classification. China is the dominant supplier across all resin types, while India and Italy supply specialty and fashion-grade buttons, with Italy in particular known for high-end polyester and acrylic buttons used in luxury apparel. Importers should note that buttons covered with textile material, or buttons of shell, wood, or metal, classify under different headings entirely.

CBP expects the commercial invoice or a supplemental material composition statement from the manufacturer to identify the specific plastic resin — casein, acrylic, polyester, or other. A generic declaration of 'plastic buttons' without resin identification is insufficient and may result in CBP requesting additional information or reclassifying the shipment. Requesting a material data sheet or resin specification from the supplier before shipment is best practice.
If a plastic button is covered or overlaid with textile material — for example, fabric-wrapped buttons — it no longer qualifies under heading 9606.21 and must be classified elsewhere (typically under 9606.29 or another applicable heading). The 'not covered with textile material' condition is a hard exclusion: even partial textile covering can disqualify the article. Importers of decorative or fashion buttons with mixed materials should verify the surface composition carefully.
