Stapler pin Hs Code

Stapler pin harmonized system code

Product Overview Stapler pins classified under HS Code 830520 are small, precision-engineered metal fasteners designed specifically for use in stapling devices across various industrial and commercial applications. Typically manufactured from high-grade steel wire with zinc or nickel plating to enhance corrosion resistance, these pins measure approximately 6 to 12 mm in length and 0.6 to 1.2 mm in wire diameter, offering optimal strength and flexibility for reliable paper binding. The processing involves cold forming and precise cutting to ensure uniformity and dimensional accuracy, meeting stringent quality control standards such as ISO 9001. HS Code 830520 encompasses multiple subcategories, including staples for stationery, packaging staples, and heavy-duty industrial staples differentiated by size, shape (e.g., crown width), and tensile strength. Stapler pins are predominantly utilized in office environments, retail packaging, food service sector bundling, and light manufacturing assembly lines. Their competitive advantages lie in consistent mechanical performance, resistance to deformation, and compatibility with a wide range of manual and electric staplers, positioning them as essential components within global supply chains for document management and packaging solutions. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The full HS Code 830520 corresponds to "Staples in strips (for example, for staplers, for saddle stitching machines), of base metal," nested within Chapter 83 (Miscellaneous Articles of Base Metal), Heading 8305 (Staples and similar articles of base metal). The hierarchical breakdown is as follows: Chapter 83 covers base metal articles; Heading 8305 specifically addresses staples and related fasteners; and Subheading 830520 designates staples in strips for staplers. This classification is justified by the product’s composition (metal base), form (striped staples), and intended use in fastening applications. Common commercial packaging includes bulk quantities of 1,000 to 10,000 pins per box, vacuum-sealed or moisture-resistant polyethylene bags to prevent oxidation during transit. Shipping adheres to international standards, often utilizing standardized cartons compliant with ISPM 15 regulations for wooden packaging, if applicable. Quality benchmarks align with ASTM F1667 and equivalent ISO standards for mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Compliance with WTO trade regulations and accurate tariff classification under HS 830520 ensures smooth customs clearance, precise duty assessment, and adherence to trade documentation protocols essential for import/export stakeholders and customs brokers.

Stapler pin Chapter Note

1.- For the purposes of this Chapter, parts of base metal are to be classified with their parent articles. However, articles of iron or steel of heading 73.12, 73.15, 73.17, 73.18 or 73.20, or similar articles of other base metal (Chapters 74 to 76 and 78 to 81) are not to be taken as parts of articles of this Chapter. 2.- For the purposes of heading 83.02, the word “castors” means those having a diameter (including, where appropriate, tyres) not exceeding 75 mm, or those having a diameter (including, where appropriate, tyres) exceeding 75 mm provided that the width of the wheel or tyre fitted thereto is less than 30 mm.
