Import Tips

• Include test reports confirming snap strength to comply with apparel safety standards during import

• Label shipments clearly as 'base metal buttons' to prevent confusion with Chapter 39 plastic fasteners

• Avoid declaring as 'parts' if sold individually—finished buttons stay in 9606
