Vinyl-Coated Round Wire Roofing Nails from Germany
These are one-piece construction nails made from round steel wire, coated with vinyl for enhanced corrosion resistance and easier removal from wood. They fall under HTS 7317.00.55.80 due to their round wire construction and vinyl coating, distinguishing them from plain or differently coated nails. Commonly used in outdoor construction where weather exposure is a concern.

Import Tips
• Verify coating type via lab testing to confirm vinyl/resin/cement classification and avoid misclassification as plain wire nails
• Include material certificates showing steel wire base and coating composition in documentation for customs clearance
• Check for one-piece construction; headed nails may shift to other subheadings under 7317.00
