9607.20.00.80 - Other

HTS code 9607.20.00.80, described as "Other," falls under the broader category of "Parts" for slide fasteners. This residual classification is designated for components of slide fasteners that are not specifically enumerated in other subcategories at the same level. It encompasses a wide array of small, often intricate parts, such as stoppers, boxes, pins, and reinforcements, which are essential for the proper functioning of a complete slide fastener but do not fit the specific definition of a slider.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9607.20.00.40, which specifically covers "Sliders, with or without pulls." While sliders are a distinct and significant part of a slide fastener, this "Other" category is for all other components that enable the slider to move along the fastener chain and secure it. Therefore, if a slide fastener part is not a slider assembly, it will likely be classified here, provided it is intended for use with slide fasteners.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 9607.20.00.80 has no further subcategories. Classification within this code relies on the explicit exclusion from more specific categories and the determination that the article is indeed a part of a slide fastener. Examples might include the metal or plastic components that prevent the slider from detaching at either end of the fastener (box and pin components), or reinforcing elements that attach to the tape.
