Galvanized Steel Deck Wood Screws from Mexico
These are coarse-threaded steel screws with a flat head and zinc galvanization, specifically designed for outdoor decking applications to secure wood boards to joists. They fall under HTS 7318.12.00.00 as 'other wood screws' because of their aggressive threading optimized for holding power in wood without pilot holes. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior use.
