Last updated: July 2026 dataTubular and bifurcated rivets — hollow or split-shank fasteners used in leathergoods, apparel, canvas goods, and light industrial assembly — are classified across three 10-digit lines that distinguish iron or steel rivets (8308203000) from other base metal types (8308206000), with a legacy consolidated line (8308200000) also present. The iron and steel lines may be subject to Section 232 tariffs depending on origin, adding a cost layer that solid-rivet buyers in the same chapter do not face. Specification details such as shank diameter, flange style, and alloy composition are critical for both classification and quality-assurance purposes.

Both types fall under heading 8308.20, so the distinction does not affect the HS6 classification. However, at the 10-digit level, the split is by material (iron/steel vs. other base metals), not by rivet geometry. Importers should confirm the alloy composition of their product to select the correct statistical suffix.
Potentially yes. Articles of iron or steel can fall within the scope of Section 232 measures depending on product form and origin. Importers of iron or steel rivets classified under 8308203000 should consult a licensed customs broker to determine whether a Section 232 tariff applies and whether any exclusion has been granted.
