About HS Code 761610
This HS code covers a wide array of small aluminium fasteners and fixing elements, including nails, tacks, staples (excluding office staples), screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, and washers. These components are indispensable in industries where lightweight, corrosion resistance, and non-magnetic properties are critical, such as aerospace, marine, electronics, and construction. Aluminium fasteners are often preferred over steel in applications requiring weight reduction or where galvanic corrosion with other aluminium components must be prevented. Importers include manufacturers across various sectors, hardware distributors, and construction suppliers. Exporters are specialized fastener manufacturers. Key trade considerations involve specific alloy grades, thread types, head styles, and strict compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM) for strength and durability, ensuring their reliability in demanding applications.
Products Under This Code
