Last updated: July 2026 dataSnap closures, press-studs, and decorative or functional buttons are foundational trim components for apparel, leather goods, and soft-goods manufacturing, and their classification turns on construction material — metal, plastic, shell, or fabric-covered — which determines the applicable HTS subheading and duty rate. Parts for these fasteners are explicitly included, making this category relevant to both finished-goods importers and trim-component suppliers. Apparel-sector buyers should note that button and fastener sourcing is subject to country-of-origin rules that can affect the origin determination of finished garments under textile trade programs.

At the HTS level, buttons and snap fasteners are subdivided by material — plastic, base metal, shell, vegetable ivory, and others each carry distinct tariff lines with potentially different duty rates. Importers must accurately identify and document the primary material of the button body, not just the surface finish, to ensure correct classification.
Yes. Under US textile origin rules, the country where a garment is cut and sewn typically governs its origin, but trim components like buttons generally do not change that determination. However, for certain trade preference programs, there are rules about allowable foreign trim content, so importers of finished apparel should confirm that button sourcing complies with applicable content thresholds.
