HTS heading 7415 is a four-digit product category for certain small hardware and fastening articles made of copper, plus certain iron or steel articles that have copper heads. It covers items such as nails, tacks, drawing pins, qualifying staples, screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter pins, washers, and similar articles. Staples of heading 8305 are excluded and must be classified under that heading instead.
To reach the correct eight-digit HTS code, first confirm that the product belongs in heading 7415. Then narrow it through the heading’s subdivisions, typically based on the article’s specific type and the material or construction described in the tariff. Review the full eight-digit wording, unit of quantity, statistical suffix, and any applicable legal notes. The product’s actual composition and principal function—not its marketing name—control classification, and unusual or composite articles may require a customs broker’s judgment.
What to check
- Identify the exact article: for example, a screw, washer, rivet, nail, staple, or similar item.
- Verify the material, including whether the item is copper or iron or steel with a copper head; check plating, coating, inserts, and mixed-material construction.
- Exclude staples or related articles that are specifically covered by heading 8305 before using heading 7415.
- Compare the product’s physical specifications with the complete eight-digit tariff descriptions, not just the heading title or a search result.
- Keep supplier specifications, drawings, photos, bills of materials, and samples to support the classification; ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if the proper code is uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
