Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fluting insufficient for powder tool certification
Standard corrugated or deformed nails without tool suitability go to statistical breakout.
If formed into L- or U-shaped anchors
Complex shapes resembling brackets classify as other steel structures, not simple nails.
If drill-point tipped for masonry pre-drilling
Tools with cutting points for hand or power drills fall under Chapter 82 headings.

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
Short unthreaded steel pins with countersunk heads for powder-actuated fixing of acoustic ceiling tees to concrete joists. These fit HTS 7317.00.20.00 as specialized non-threaded nails for powder handtools in suspended systems. Countersinking allows flush surface finishes.
High-Strength Concrete Nail Pins
Heat-treated high-carbon steel pins, unthreaded with chamfered tips for powder-actuated tools securing rebar safety caps to slabs. HTS 7317.00.20.00 includes these robust nails designed for extreme impact in powder systems. Alloy composition ensures deformation resistance.
