The US splits it as follows: 7317.00.10 for nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, staples (other than… (duty-free), 7317.00.20 for other, suitable for use in powder-actuated handtools: not threaded (duty-free), 7317.00.30 for other, suitable for use in powder-actuated handtools: threaded (duty-free), 7317.00.55 for made of round wire (duty-free), 7317.00.65 for of one piece construction: other (duty-free) and 7317.00.75 for of two or more pieces (duty-free).
