U.S. exports of Non-Threaded Iron & Steel Screws, Bolts, Nuts, and Similar Fasteners (SITC 69422) totaled $139.3M in August 2026.
Importers of Non-Threaded Iron & Steel Screws, Bolts, Nuts, and Similar Fasteners paid $32.8M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 52.66% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataPlain washers, non-threaded rivets, and similar unthreaded iron or steel fastening articles occupy heading 69422, set apart from their threaded counterparts by the absence of a helical thread — a distinction that carries real classification and duty consequences. These components are widely used in structural fabrication, appliance manufacturing, and sheet-metal assembly where clamping or alignment rather than thread engagement is the functional requirement. Section 232 steel tariff exposure applies based on the specific HTS line and origin, making supplier documentation critical.

Not necessarily. Trade remedy orders are product- and country-specific, and the scope language in each order determines whether non-threaded articles are covered. Importers should review the scope of any relevant antidumping or countervailing duty orders and, if uncertain, request a scope ruling from the Department of Commerce.
A rivet classified here lacks a helical thread and is typically deformed or upset at installation to create a mechanical joint. If a rivet incorporates a threaded shank intended to accept a nut, it would be reclassified under the threaded fastener heading. The functional design at the time of importation governs the classification.
