Last updated: April 2026 dataSection 232 tariffs on steel mill products have made sourcing strategy a central concern for importers of iron and steel nails, tacks, staples, and similar driven fasteners — a category that explicitly excludes articles with copper heads and office-type staples in strips. Construction, roofing, and pallet manufacturing are the primary end-use sectors, where wire nail specifications (gauge, shank type, coating) drive purchasing decisions. Classification hinges on material composition and head type, distinguishing this heading from copper-head variants classified elsewhere.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Nails and similar driven fasteners of iron or steel can be subject to Section 232 tariffs depending on their specific HTS classification and the country of origin. Importers should verify the applicable 10-digit HTS code and check whether any product exclusions or country-specific exemptions apply before entry.
The SITC heading 69410 explicitly excludes articles with copper heads. If a nail or tack has a copper head regardless of the shank material, it is classified under a different provision. The determination is based on the material of the head, not the shank, so mixed-material fasteners require careful classification review.
