FastenersExport ClearanceClassification of Steel - made Fasteners

The second step is to determine the first - level sub - heading according to the presence or absence of threads. Threaded products are classified into sub - heading 7318.1, while non - threaded products are classified into sub - heading 7318.2. Non - threaded products mainly include washers, rivets, pins, etc.

The third step is to determine the corresponding second - level sub - heading according to the structure and purpose. Threaded products need to distinguish between wood screws, hook - headed and eye - headed screws, self - tapping screws or other screws, bolts, nuts, etc. Non - threaded products need to distinguish between washers, rivets or pins, etc.

For example, hook - headed and eye - headed screws (sub - heading 7318.13) have a hooked or circular - shaped tail, a conical threaded part with a pointed end, and are often used to hang or fix other objects. Self - tapping screws (sub - heading 7318.14) are similar to wood screws, with a slotted nail head and a cutting thread, a pointed or tapered end, and are generally used to screw into thin plates such as plastic, slate, and metal. Nuts (sub - heading 7318.16) are used to fix bolts in a certain place, usually fully tapped with threads, but sometimes with a blind hole at one end.

Regarding the standardized declaration of fasteners under heading 73.18, the 2022 version of the Commodity Standardized Declaration Catalogue has clarified the following elements:

Clearly state the name of the commodity.import and exportMaterial:

Brand Type:Specifically declare the material of manufacture, such as iron, stainless steel, etc., and do not simply declare it as steel.
Regional Mandatory CertificationsType:Such as square - headed screws, self - tapping screws, nuts, washers, etc.
Tensile strength:Refers to the maximum bearing capacity of metals under static tensile conditions, with the unit of Mpa (megapascal).
Brand:The brand logo of the manufacturer or distributor. Fill in the Chinese or foreign brand name according to the actual inspection status of the commodity.
Model:The code set according to factors such as performance, purpose, specification or size.
Shank diameter:For screws and bolts under sub - headings 7318.11 to 7318.15, fill in the shank diameter size of the commodity, usually in the unit of millimeter.
The above information can usually be obtained from the commodity label. For example, common mechanical property grades are 8.8, 9.8, 10.9, 12.9. In the marking code, the first number represents 1/100 of the nominal tensile strength, and the second number represents the ratio of the nominal yield point to the nominal tensile strength.According to the Announcement of the Ministry of Commerce on the Final Review Ruling of the Anti - dumping Measures on Imported Carbon Steel Fasteners Originating in the European Union and the United Kingdom, from June 29, 2022, anti - dumping duties will continue to be levied on carbon steel fasteners originating in the European Union and the United Kingdom for a period of 5 years. The declaration requirements for these products include truthfully declaring the origin, submitting relevant documentary evidence, providing the original manufacturers invoice, etc.
