Product description
Style Snaps™ are adhesive backed fasteners marketed for instant hemming solutions, taming unruly lapels and holding down loose belts and shirts. The fasteners can be simply snapped or un-snapped as needed. The Style Snaps™ are made of molded plastic and have an adhesive backing protected by a peel-off paper strip. They are designed to be secured to garments by means of the adhesive backing. They are particularly useful when secured onto the hems of slacks so that they may be snapped to make the slacks shorter when worn with low heeled shoes and then unsnapped to make the slacks longer when worn with higher heels. You have suggested classification in subheading 3923.50.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics. The Style Snaps™ are not similar in construction or use to the products in that subheading.
