Last updated: July 2026 dataAntidumping duty orders have historically targeted certain iron and steel nails from multiple countries, making origin verification and scope analysis a routine compliance step for importers in this heading. The US tariff schedule is unusually granular here, with more than twenty 10-digit lines distinguishing collated versus non-collated nails, smooth versus deformed shanks, coating type (galvanized, vinyl/resin, cement), wire form (round versus non-round), and construction (one-piece versus multi-piece). China dominates supply, with India and Thailand also significant sources. Importers of collated framing and roofing nails — widely used in residential construction — face the highest antidumping exposure and should conduct scope rulings before committing to new supply arrangements.

The US has maintained antidumping duty orders on certain steel nails from multiple countries for many years. The scope of each order is defined by product specifications such as shank type, diameter, and end use. Importers should request a scope ruling from the US Department of Commerce or consult a trade attorney to confirm whether a specific nail product falls within an active order before placing purchase orders.
Collated nails are individual nails assembled into strips or coils — using wire, paper, or plastic tape — for use in pneumatic or powder-actuated nailers. The US schedule assigns separate 10-digit lines to collated nails based on collation method (wire strip, paper strip, plastic strip) and shank/coating characteristics. Non-collated nails are classified under different lines based on shank profile and surface treatment. The collation format must be identified before selecting the correct tariff line.
