These are one-piece construction nails made from round steel wire with a smooth shank, coated in vinyl for enhanced holding power and corrosion resistance in wood framing applications. They fall under HTS 7317.00.55.40 due to their round wire construction, smooth shank, and specific vinyl coating, distinguishing them from threaded or other coated varieties. Commonly used in construction for framing walls and roofs.

Import Tips

Verify coating type via lab testing to confirm vinyl/resin compliance and avoid misclassification as uncoated under 7317.00.55.30

Include material certificates showing round wire diameter under 16mm and one-piece construction in documentation

Watch for common pitfalls like declaring as threaded nails, which shifts to 7317.00.55.50 and alters duties
