Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7317.00.55Same rate: 35%

If fluting insufficient for powder tool certification

Standard corrugated or deformed nails without tool suitability go to statistical breakout.

7308.90.95Same rate: 35%

If formed into L- or U-shaped anchors

Complex shapes resembling brackets classify as other steel structures, not simple nails.

8205.59.10.00Higher: 42.2% vs 35%

If drill-point tipped for masonry pre-drilling

Tools with cutting points for hand or power drills fall under Chapter 82 headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Certify fluting pattern meets powder tool velocity specs to prevent generic nail downgrade

• Separate collated strips if applicable; loose pins only for this code

• Declare exact carbon steel composition for potential MFN duty reductions

Powder-Actuated Steel Drive Pins

Cylindrical steel pins with a fluted shank and pre-assembled washer head, designed for powder-actuated tools to fasten metal tracks to concrete in construction. They fall under HTS 7317.00.20.00 as unthreaded nails suitable for powder-actuated handtools, made of steel without threading. The smooth shank allows for high-velocity driving into hard substrates.

Smooth Shank Powder Tool Pins

Unthreaded steel pins with a straight smooth shank and knurled head for secure grip in powder-actuated nailers, used primarily for attaching wood furring strips to masonry. Classified in HTS 7317.00.20.00 due to their design for high-impact powder tool driving and lack of threading. The smooth profile ensures clean penetration without binding.

Knurled Head Concrete Drive Pins

Steel drive pins featuring a knurled drive head and fluted body for powder-actuated fastening of electrical boxes to concrete walls. HTS 7317.00.20.00 applies as they are unthreaded, steel nails optimized for powder tool propulsion into hard materials. Knurling prevents slippage during high-speed insertion.

Washer Head Powder Actuated Pins

Steel pins with integrated washer heads and smooth unthreaded shanks for powder-actuated attachment of metal lath to concrete in plastering applications. HTS 7317.00.20.00 covers these as non-threaded, powder-tool suitable steel articles similar to nails. The washer distributes load to prevent pull-through.

Ceiling Pin Powder Tool Fasteners
