Analysis
Heading 7415 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers nails, tacks, drawing pins, staples (other than those of heading 8305) and similar articles, of copper or of iron or steel with heads of copper; screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter pins, washers…. It divides into 5 six-digit subheadings and 7 eight-digit tariff lines, with 8 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 7 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 1.4% to 3% with a median of 3%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The largest subheadings are 7415.33 (screws, bolts and nuts, 3 lines), 7415.10 (unnamed, 1 line), 7415.21 (unnamed, 1 line) and 7415.29 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of 3% sits at the 74th percentile of the headings in chapter 74.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (332722) and Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (332618). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
