A325 High-Strength Structural Bolts from China

A325 structural bolts are high-strength hex head bolts designed for steel-to-steel structural connections in buildings and bridges, with a shank diameter of 6 mm or more and typically supplied with matching nuts and washers. They fall under HTS 7318.15.20.30 as structural bolts due to their use in load-bearing structural applications and compliance with ASTM specifications for tensile strength.

Import Tips

Verify ASTM A325 certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm material grade and mechanical properties for customs compliance

Ensure bolts, nuts, and washers are entered together in the same shipment to qualify under this subheading; separate shipments may reclassify

Check for anti-dumping duties on certain steel bolts from specific countries and label with country of origin clearly
