Aluminum Pop Rivets
Aluminum pop rivets, also known as blind rivets, are tubular fasteners with a mandrel that is pulled to expand the body, allowing assembly when only one side of a workpiece is accessible. They are made from aluminum and are used in applications ranging from sheet metal fabrication to automotive repair. As rivets of aluminum, they are classified under tariff item 7616.10.00, which covers nails, tacks, staples, screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, washers and similar articles of aluminum.
