A die-cast metal puller or slider that moves along zipper teeth to open and close the fastener. Classified under HTS 9607.20.00 as an essential separable part of slide fasteners, imported separately for zipper assembly lines. Typically features a pin box and retainer box for secure operation.
Plastic Zipper Stopper
Injection-molded plastic top and bottom stops that secure the slider on zipper tapes, preventing it from sliding off. These discrete parts are classified under HTS 9607.20.00 as components of slide fasteners, supplied loose for sewing machine attachment. Common in apparel and luggage zippers.
Nylon Zipper Pin Box
Molded nylon housing that connects the two sides of separating zippers, allowing them to detach. Classified as HTS 9607.20.00 parts of slide fasteners due to its specialized function in two-way/open-end zippers. Used extensively in jackets, sleeping bags, and luggage.
Zipper Retainer Box
The socket component that receives the pin box in two-way zippers, enabling secure separation. Falls under HTS 9607.20.00 as a slide fastener part, imported separately for assembly into open-end zippers. Essential for reversible clothing and equipment.
Water-Resistant Zipper Flange
Rubberized fabric flanges attached to zipper tapes for waterproof sealing in outdoor gear. Classified under HTS 9607.20.00 as specialized slide fastener parts for marine and mountaineering applications. The coating enables watertight closure when zipped.
