Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 7317 covers nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, staples, and similar articles of iron or steel. This fundamental fastener category includes basic joining and attachment hardware for wood, construction materials, and general applications. Products range from common wire nails to specialized fasteners for specific construction methods or materials. Manufacturing processes include wire drawing, cutting, heading, pointing, and various surface treatments including galvanizing, cement coating, or resin coating for enhanced holding power. Technical specifications focus on dimensional precision, point and head geometry, withdrawal resistance, and corrosion protection appropriate for intended application environment. Unlike threaded fasteners (HS 7318), these products secure materials through direct penetration rather than threaded engagement, providing economical and rapid attachment methods. This division represents mass-produced basic hardware enabling construction assembly, packaging, and general material joining across numerous sectors from residential construction to furniture manufacturing and general industrial applications.
