Small nails with enlarged flat heads for pinning classify as tacks, not common nails.
If parts of beverage dispensers
If specialized for keg couplers, end-use shifts to machinery parts outside Chapter 73 fasteners.

Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Document exact dimensions and shank type; smooth shank must be verified against ring or barbed alternatives
ā¢ Avoid common error of classifying as staples (8305) if rectangular head; confirm pointed nail design
ā¢ For large shipments, pre-clear with customs on wire source to prevent reclassification
