Import Tips
• Verify value per dozen with supplier invoices to confirm HTS 9606.10.8000 classification over the 20¢ threshold
• Include material composition certificates (e.g
• nickel-free for REACH compliance) in documentation
• Avoid misclassification as apparel parts by importing as separate fasteners, not garment-attached
