About slide fasteners and parts thereof

hs code 9607 covers the industry of slide fasteners and their component parts. Slide fasteners, commonly known as zippers, are an essential component in a wide range of products, from clothing and luggage to industrial applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and textile supply chains, providing a reliable and versatile fastening solution for a diverse range of consumer and commercial goods.

Production process

The production of slide fasteners and their parts involves a series of specialized manufacturing processes. The key steps include the fabrication of the individual components, such as the stringers, sliders, and pulls, followed by the assembly and finishing of the complete fastener. Automated machinery and precision engineering techniques are employed to ensure consistent quality and efficiency in the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the slide fastener industry include metal and plastic raw materials, such as brass, aluminum, and various polymers, which are used to produce the individual components. Additionally, specialized machinery and tooling, as well as skilled labor, are essential inputs for the efficient and high-quality manufacturing of these products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the slide fastener industry is the finished slide fastener, which is then incorporated into a wide range of consumer and industrial products. These include 6204 (Women's suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear)), 4202 Trunks, suitcases, vanity cases, executive-cases, briefcases, school satchels, spectacle cases, binocular cases, camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, holsters and similar containers; travelling-bags, insulated food or beverage bags, toilet bags, rucksacks, handbags, shopping-bags, wallets, purses, map-cases, cigarette-cases, tobacco-pouches, tool bags, sports bags, bottle-cases, jewelry boxes, powder-boxes, cutlery cases and similar containers, of leather or of composition leather, of sheeting of plastics, of textile materials, of vulcanized fiber or of paperboard, or wholly or mainly covered with such materials or with paper, and various industrial and technical applications.
