Heavy-Duty Polyester Zipper from Germany
A heavy-duty polyester zipper is a reinforced slide fastener with larger teeth, designed for tents, backpacks, and luggage. It is classified under tariff item 9607.19.00 as an 'other' slide fastener with base metal chain scoops, given its non-metal, non-footwear-specific construction. The larger teeth provide durability for high-stress outdoor gear.
