HS HEADING 7318

Screws, bolts, nuts, coach screws, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, washers (including spring washers) and similar articles, of iron or steel

In plain English

This heading covers various fasteners and hardware items made of iron or steel, such as screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, and washers. The items are divided into two main groups based on whether they have threads. The first group includes threaded items like coach screws, wood screws, self-tapping screws, and nuts. The second group consists of non-threaded items, including spring washers, lock washers, rivets, and cotter pins.

Chapter 73 classification notes

Heavily subject to trade defense measures. US Section 232 tariffs (25%) apply to most steel imports. EU safeguard quotas in effect. Anti-dumping duties common on Chinese, Indian, and Turkish steel.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Stainless steel articles should be classified under the specific stainless steel headings, not general iron/steel. Alloy steel has its own subheadings.

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.
