Teak Deck Boat Wood Screws
Teak deck boat wood screws are silicon bronze fasteners designed for marine teak decking, featuring a slotted flat head and coarse threads for secure grip in tropical hardwoods. Despite being a bronze alloy, they are classified under this iron or steel tariff item because the chapter's legal notes treat alloys of base metals as the predominant metal, and these screws are functionally equivalent to steel wood screws. Their saltwater corrosion resistance makes them ideal for boat deck installations.
