Importers of Aluminum Nails, Tacks, Screws, Bolts, Nuts, and Similar Fasteners paid $3.2M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 28.43% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Aluminum Nails, Tacks, Screws, Bolts, Nuts, and Similar Fasteners imports of $11.6M in August 2026 ran 16% above the year-to-date monthly average of $10.0M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAluminum fasteners — spanning driven articles like nails and tacks as well as threaded forms including screws, bolts, and nuts — are consolidated into a single heading (69440) unlike the separate threaded/non-threaded split used for iron/steel and copper. Their light weight and natural oxide corrosion resistance make them standard in aluminum curtain-wall construction, recreational vehicle assembly, and coastal building applications. Section 232 tariffs on aluminum products affect the cost structure for this heading, and importers should verify whether specific product lines fall within the scope of those measures.

The SITC classification for aluminum fasteners (69440) consolidates all types — driven, threaded, and non-threaded — into one heading, reflecting the relatively smaller trade volume and narrower product diversity compared to iron and steel fasteners, which warrant separate headings for threaded and non-threaded variants. This means the threaded/non-threaded distinction that matters for duty and trade remedy purposes in steel fasteners does not create a classification split for aluminum.
Aluminum fasteners can fall within the scope of Section 232 tariffs on aluminum products, depending on the specific 10-digit HTS classification and the country of origin. Country-specific exemptions and product exclusions have been granted under Section 232, so importers should verify current applicability with a licensed customs broker before entry.
