Curved Plastic Zipper from United States

A curved plastic zipper is a pre-curved nylon slide fastener designed for fitted cushions and sportswear, following non-linear paths. It falls under tariff item 9607.19.00 as an 'other' slide fastener with base metal chain scoops, as the curvature is a specialized feature not covered by other subheadings. This design allows for contoured applications where straight zippers are unsuitable.

Import Tips

• Document the pre-curved nature of the zipper to justify classification under 'other' slide fasteners

• Ensure the base metal scoops are clearly identified in the product description

• Check if the curvature affects the zipper's function for potential reclassification
