Textile-Covered Acrylic Resin Shirt Buttons from China
These buttons are made from acrylic resin cores covered with woven textile fabric, commonly used on dress shirts and blouses. They fall under HTS 9606.29.20.00 because they consist of acrylic resin covered with textile material, distinguishing them from uncovered plastic buttons. The textile covering provides a fabric-like appearance and feel for better garment integration.
