Analysis
Subheading 7616.10 covers nails, tacks, staples (other than those of heading 8305), screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter pins, washers and similar articles, within heading 7616. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 5 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 5 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 4.7% to 6% with a median of 5.7%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7616.10.10 for nails, tacks and staples (5.7%), 7616.10.30 for nails, tacks, staples (other than those of heading 8305), screws… (4.7%), 7616.10.50 for cotters and cotter pins (5.7%), 7616.10.70 for having shanks, threads or holes over 6 mm in diameter (5.5%) and 7616.10.90 for other: other (6%).
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.
