CHAPTER

96 — Miscellaneous manufactured articles

In plain English

This category covers slide fasteners and their components. The items are split into groups based on whether they have chain scoops made of base metal. One group includes those with such metal scoops, while another covers all other slide fasteners. A separate group is reserved specifically for parts.

Chapter 96 classification notes

A catch-all chapter for manufactured articles not elsewhere classified. Generally low duty rates (0-8%). Cigarette lighters face child-safety standards (ISO 9994) and import restrictions in some markets.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Many 'miscellaneous' items actually have specific chapters — brushes (Chapter 96 heading 9603) vs cosmetic applicators (some in Ch. 96, some in Ch. 33). Check specific headings carefully.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
