Last updated: May 2026 dataIron and steel rivets — permanent mechanical fasteners installed by deforming the tail end — serve structural, aerospace-adjacent, and general manufacturing applications, and are classified under a single 10-digit line (7318230000). Taiwan and China are the leading US suppliers, with the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan also present, reflecting both commodity and precision-grade sourcing. Solid, blind (pop), and tubular rivet types all fall within this heading, so product form does not drive further HTS subdivision; instead, material grade and origin are the key variables for duty and trade-remedy analysis.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — both solid rivets and blind (pull-mandrel) rivets of iron or steel are classified under 7318230000, as the heading does not subdivide by rivet type. However, if a blind rivet assembly includes a mandrel of a different metal (e.g., aluminum), the essential character of the complete article should be assessed; in most cases the iron or steel body governs classification, but complex composite rivet assemblies may warrant a binding ruling.
Iron and steel rivets of Chinese origin are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should also check whether any antidumping or countervailing duty orders on steel fasteners from China extend to rivets, as scope language in such orders can be product-specific. Consulting a licensed customs broker before the first shipment from a new origin is advisable to confirm the full duty stack.
