Circlips & Retaining Rings Manufacturer, Wholesaler, Supplier & Exporter to Afghanistan
Circlips (retaining rings) hold bearings, gears, and shafts axially in place inside a groove, on either a shaft (external) or a bore (internal). We manufacture and export these to DIN 471/472 in spring steel and stainless steel. Global Fasteners Exports supplies wholesalers, distributors, and OEM buyers in Afghanistan with industrial fasteners across our full catalog — bolts, nuts, screws, washers, rivets, and structural hardware — manufactured or sourced to the standard your project specifies (DIN, ISO, ASTM, or BIS), with export documentation and container shipping handled end-to-end.

View full product details →Shipping & Trade Notes for Afghanistan
- • Fasteners are typically classified under HS Chapter 73 for import into Afghanistan — confirm the exact HS subheading and current duty rate with your customs broker.
- • We supply mill test certificates and export documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin) for customs clearance.
- • Both FCL (full container load) and LCL (less than container load) shipping are available depending on order volume.
Minimum Order — Container Quantity (Approx.)
A standard 20ft container (~20 tons) typically holds several million to over ten million circlips in common shaft/bore sizes. Exact quantity depends on size and is confirmed at quote time.
You don't need a full container to order. Hurain Engitech & Trade — the group Global Fasteners Exports operates under — regularly ships smaller, partial-container (LCL) orders of just a few pallets or boxes for buyers who don't yet need FCL volume, consolidated with other cargo to keep freight cost reasonable.
