Curtain Magnetic Clasp
A curtain magnetic clasp, also known as a curtain tieback or holdback, is a device used to hold curtains open, utilizing magnetic force instead of traditional hooks or tiebacks.
Material:
- Magnets: Typically neodymium magnets are employed due to their high strength. These are often encased in protective coatings like nickel or epoxy.
- Outer Shell/Covering: Common materials include:
- Metal: Stainless steel, brass, or other alloys for durability and aesthetic appeal.
- Plastic: PVC or other polymers for a more cost-effective and lightweight option.
- Fabric-covered: Often a decorative fabric to blend with the curtains.
- Cord/Rope (if applicable): Nylon, polyester, or similar synthetic materials.
Purpose:
The primary purpose is to provide a convenient and damage-free method for holding curtains open, allowing light and views while maintaining a neat appearance. They avoid the need for drilling or using adhesive hooks, making them suitable for renters or those who prefer not to alter walls.
Function:
The clasp consists of two parts. One part attaches to the curtain fabric, and the other to the wall or another part of the curtain. The magnets hold these two parts together, securing the curtain in the desired open position. Some designs utilize a cord or loop to adjust the degree of openness.
Usage Scenarios:
- Homes: Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and other areas with curtains.
- Apartments/Rental Properties: Where drilling is restricted.
- Temporary Displays: Holding curtains open for events or staging.
- Sheer Curtains: Ideal for lightweight fabrics where traditional tiebacks might not hold effectively.
- Layered Curtains: Used to hold back outer layers while keeping inner layers closed.
Common Types:
- Simple Magnetic Clasps: Two basic magnetic pieces that attach directly to the curtain and wall.
- Corded Magnetic Clasps: Feature a cord or loop connecting the two magnetic pieces, allowing for adjustable holdback length and style.
- Decorative Magnetic Clasps: Embellished with designs, fabrics, or finishes to complement the curtain and room décor.
- Weighted Magnetic Clasps: Include weights to improve hold, particularly for heavier curtains.
- Buckle Magnetic Clasps: Incorporate a buckle-like mechanism for easier adjustment and a more secure hold.
- No-Sew Magnetic Clasps: Designed with clips or adhesive backing for easy attachment without sewing.
Based on the provided information, “curtain magnetic clasp” can be classified under the following HS codes:
-
8308909000: This HS code covers “Clasps, frames with clasps, buckles, buckle-clasps, hooks, eyes, eyelets and the like, of base metal, of a kind used for clothing or clothing accessories, footwear, jewelry, wrist watches, books, awnings, leather goods, travel goods or saddlery or for other made up articles; tubular or bifurcated rivets, of base metal; beads and spangles, of base metal: Other, including parts: Other”. The “Other” subheading suggests this code is applicable if the magnetic clasp doesn’t fall into more specific categories within 8308.90. It is important to note this code applies to base metal clasps used with items like awnings, which could include curtains. The basic duty is 2.7%, with an additional duty of 25.0%, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 57.7%.
-
8505110090: This HS code covers “Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof: Permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization: Of metal Other”. Since the clasp utilizes magnets, and is made of metal, this code may be applicable. The basic duty is 2.1%, with no additional duty, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 32.1%.
-
8505191000: This HS code covers “Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof: Permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization: Other: Flexible magnets”. If the magnets used in the clasp are flexible, this code may be applicable. The basic duty is 4.9%, with an additional duty of 25.0%, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 59.9%.
Regarding HS code 8505110090 and 8505191000, it is important to determine the type of magnet used in the clasp (permanent vs. flexible) to ensure correct classification.
