Customs classification of self-tapping screws 7318 11

CN code 7318 11 covers self-tapping screws of iron or steel - screws with hardened thread capable of cutting thread in a pilot hole without prior tapping. Used for joining steel sheets, metal profiles, plastics and wood-to-metal. Classification requires the self-tapping feature. Self-drilling screws (with drill point) fall under 7318 14. Wood screws without self-tapping under 7318 12. Machine screws under 7318 15. Self-tapping screws follow DIN 7981-7983 and ISO 1481-1483.

Import requirements and CBAM 7318 11

Importing self-tapping screws under CN 7318 11 into the EU is governed by the Union Customs Code. Since 2026, CBAM applies. Structural screws may require CE under EN 14592 (timber) or European Technical Assessments ETA (metal). Required documents include a commercial invoice, manufacturer certificate, CE declaration (if applicable) and certificate of origin. Verify in TARIC.

Trade measures and AD 7318 11

Self-tapping screws under CN 7318 11 may be subject to EU AD duties on fasteners from China. Separate AD measures on self-tapping screws from China may apply. Russia/Belarus imports prohibited. Safeguard under TRQ with 25 percent surcharge may apply. Global market with major suppliers from China and Taiwan. Preferential rates may reduce costs. Total cost includes duty, AD, safeguard, CBAM and VAT.

Customs classification of steel self-tapping screws (CN 7318 11)

CN code 7318 11 of the Combined Nomenclature covers steel self-tapping screws within Chapter 73, which deals with articles of iron or steel. Classification in this chapter is based on the type of article, its intended use, manufacturing method (casting, forging, welding, stamping) and base material (cast iron, non-alloy steel, stainless steel or alloy steel). Correct classification requires analysis of technical documentation. Where classification is uncertain, importers can obtain Binding Tariff Information (BTI) ruling from customs authorities, valid for three years throughout the EU.

Frequently asked questions
