HS-6 · Subheading
731823
Iron or steel; non-threaded rivets
Heading 7318 — Screws, bolts, nuts, coach screws, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, washers (including spring washers) and similar articles, of iron or steel
Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 731823 when importing or exporting non-threaded rivets made of iron or steel. These are typically used in construction and manufacturing, such as fastening metal components in machinery or building structures.
This code specifically covers non-threaded rivets, which differ from threaded fasteners like screws and bolts classified under HS-6 731815. If your product has a smooth shaft without threads, it likely falls under this code.
Non-threaded rivets are often used in applications where a permanent fastening solution is needed, such as in aircraft assembly or automotive manufacturing. They are usually installed by deforming one end to secure the rivet in place.
When considering this classification, be aware that similar items like threaded rivets or other fasteners may fall under different HS codes. Ensure your product's characteristics align with the non-threaded definition to avoid misclassification.

- What types of products are classified under HS-6 731823?
- HS-6 731823 covers non-threaded rivets made of iron or steel, commonly used in construction, automotive, and aerospace applications.
- How do I know if my rivets are non-threaded?
- Non-threaded rivets have a smooth shaft without any threads. If your rivet can be inserted without twisting, it is likely non-threaded.
- Can I classify my rivets under a different HS code?
- If your rivets are threaded, they should be classified under HS-6 731815. Ensure you check the specific characteristics of your product.
- What is the main use of non-threaded rivets?
- Non-threaded rivets are primarily used for permanent fastening in applications like metal assembly, automotive bodywork, and construction.
- Are there any specific regulations for importing non-threaded rivets?
- Yes, you should check with your local customs authority for any specific import regulations or tariffs that may apply to non-threaded rivets.
- What materials are typically used for non-threaded rivets?
- Common materials for non-threaded rivets include steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, depending on the application requirements.
- Do I need special documentation for shipping non-threaded rivets?
- Yes, you may need to provide a commercial invoice, packing list, and possibly a certificate of origin, depending on your destination country.
- How can I ensure accurate classification of my rivets?
- Review the product specifications and consult with a customs broker if necessary to ensure accurate HS code classification.
