Brass-Plated Steel Thumb Tacks from United States
Brass-plated steel thumb tacks are steel tacks with a flat head plated in brass, giving a decorative finish. The brass plating is a coating, not a head of copper, so these tacks remain within tariff item 7317.00.00 as iron or steel tacks with heads of other material.
