Magnetic Snaps Fastener
Magnetic snaps are a type of fastening system consisting of two components: a snap and a receptor. They utilize magnetic force to connect and secure materials, offering a convenient, non-sew or low-sew alternative to traditional buttons, hooks and eyes, or zippers. The "48pcs" designation indicates a package containing 48 individual sets (each set consisting of one snap and one receptor).
Material:
- Magnets: Typically neodymium (rare-earth) magnets are used due to their high strength. Ferrite magnets are also employed in less demanding applications.
- Outer Casing: Commonly constructed from nickel-plated steel, brass, or plastic. Nickel plating provides corrosion resistance. Plastic casings are used for lighter-duty applications or where weight is a concern.
- Backing/Cover: Often steel or a compatible metal to provide a secure surface for the magnet to adhere to. Plastic components may also be used.
Purpose:
Magnetic snaps provide a quick and easy method for joining and separating materials without the need for complex manipulation. They are frequently used where frequent opening and closing is required, or where accessibility for individuals with limited dexterity is a factor.
Function:
The snaps work through the attraction between opposing magnetic poles. One component contains the magnet, and the other the steel plate that it adheres to. The strength of the magnetic connection varies based on the size and grade of the magnet used.
Usage Scenarios:
- Clothing: Closures for jackets, purses, bags, and other garments, particularly for children’s wear or adaptive clothing.
- Crafts: Securing closures on handmade bags, pouches, and other fabric projects.
- Leatherwork: Used in wallets, belts, and other leather goods.
- Packaging: Closing gift boxes or promotional packaging.
- DIY Projects: Versatile for various home and hobby applications.
Common Types:
- Standard Magnetic Snaps: The most common type, consisting of a flat snap and receptor. Available in various sizes and strengths.
- Heavy-Duty Magnetic Snaps: Feature stronger magnets for more secure closures, suitable for heavier fabrics or demanding applications.
- Decorative Magnetic Snaps: Available in a variety of finishes (gold, silver, antique brass, etc.) and shapes for aesthetic purposes.
- Sew-On Magnetic Snaps: Require sewing to fabric, offering a more permanent attachment.
- Glue-On Magnetic Snaps: Attach with adhesive, suitable for materials that cannot be sewn.
- Coin Purse Frames with Magnetic Snaps: Pre-assembled frames for easy creation of coin purses and small bags.
Based on the provided information, magnetic snaps fasteners fall under several potential classifications, depending on specific characteristics. Here's a breakdown of relevant HS codes:
- 9606104000: This code covers Buttons, press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs, button molds and other parts of these articles; button blanks: Press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs and parts thereof: Valued not over 20¢ per dozen pieces or parts. This applies if the value of 48 magnetic snaps fasteners is less than or equal to $4.00 (20¢ x 20 pieces). The tax rate is 58.5% (3.5% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after 2025.4.2).
- 9606108000: This code also covers Buttons, press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs, button molds and other parts of these articles; button blanks: Press-fasteners, snap-fasteners and press-studs and parts thereof: Valued over 20¢ per dozen pieces or parts. This applies if the value of 48 magnetic snaps fasteners exceeds $4.00. The tax rate is 57.7% (2.7% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after 2025.4.2).
- 8308100000: This 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: Hooks, eyes and eyelets. This could apply if the magnetic snaps are considered hooks or eyelets. The tax rate is 1.1¢/kg + 2.9% + 55.0%.
- 8308909000: This 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. This could apply if the magnetic snaps are considered other types of clasps or fasteners. The tax rate is 57.7% (2.7% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after 2025.4.2).
Important Considerations:
The classification between 9606104000 and 9606108000 depends on the value per dozen pieces. Accurate valuation is crucial.
Regarding HS code 8308100000 and 8308909000, the material composition of the magnetic snaps should be verified, as the tax rate includes a per-kilogram charge.
