Last updated: April 2026 dataGarment and accessory hardware—clasps, buckles, hooks-and-eyes, tubular rivets, beads, and spangles of base metal—is a broad category serving the apparel, handbag, footwear, and awning industries. The decorative and functional nature of these articles means they are often subject to both fashion-cycle volatility and the cost pressures of Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods. Importers sourcing decorative beads and spangles should be aware that surface coatings and plating materials can affect both classification and compliance with consumer product safety standards.

Yes. Metal beads and decorative hardware used in children's apparel or accessories may be subject to CPSC regulations, including limits on lead content under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). Importers should test products to applicable CPSC standards and maintain test records, particularly for articles intended for children under 12.
Tubular and bifurcated rivets used for attaching decorative or functional hardware to soft goods (leather, fabric, canvas) are captured here alongside other apparel and accessory findings. Solid structural rivets used in mechanical or construction applications are generally classified under fastener headings. The distinction rests on the rivet's construction and its intended end-use application.
