HS v2017 Code: 7317

About nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, staples (not those of heading no. 8305) and the like, of iron or steel, with heads of other material or not, but excluding articles with heads of copper

HS code 7317 covers a wide range of metal fasteners, including nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, and staples. These products are essential components in various industries, from construction and manufacturing to furniture and packaging. As a critical part of the global supply chain, the 7317 industry plays a vital role in supporting economic growth and development across numerous sectors.

Production process

The production of 7317 fasteners typically involves a multi-step process. Raw materials, such as iron or steel, are first cut, shaped, and sharpened to form the body of the fastener. The heads, which can be made of various materials, are then attached using specialized machinery. Advanced techniques like cold heading, hot forging, and automated assembly lines help manufacturers achieve high-volume output and consistent quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 7317 industry include raw materials like iron, steel, and other metals, as well as specialized machinery for cutting, shaping, and assembling the fasteners. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and transportation infrastructure to support the production and distribution of these essential products.

Production outputs

The 7317 industry produces a wide range of metal fasteners, including nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, and staples. These outputs are consumed by a variety of other industries, such as 4418 Builders' Joinery and Carpentry of Wood, 9403 Furniture; Bedding, Mattresses, Mattress Supports, Cushions and Similar Stuffed Furnishings, and 8302 Base Metal Mountings, Fittings and Similar Articles Suitable for Furniture, Doors, Staircases, Windows, Blinds, Coachwork, Saddlery, Trunks, Chests, Caskets or the Like; Base Metal Hat-racks, Hat-pegs, Brackets and Similar Fixtures; Castors with Mountings of Base Metal.
