Self-Tapping Screws Manufacturer, Wholesaler, Supplier & Exporter to Kabul
Self-tapping and self-drilling screws cut their own thread into sheet metal, plastic, or pre-drilled holes, eliminating the need for a separate nut. We manufacture and export these in pan, countersunk, and hex-washer head styles for roofing, cladding, and general assembly. Kabul: The capital and main market.

Minimum Order — Container Quantity (Approx.)
A standard 20ft container (~20 tons) typically holds several million pieces of self-tapping screws in common sizes. Exact quantity depends on length, diameter, and head style, 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.

HS Code & Customs Classification
Most fasteners fall under HS Chapter 73 (articles of iron or steel) or Chapter 74/76 for brass and aluminum items — the exact 8-10 digit subheading depends on the specific product and material. We include the HS code on the commercial invoice; confirm the applicable import duty with your customs broker, since rates vary by country and trade agreement.
Packaging & Export Labeling
Export packing is chosen to survive ocean freight and container loading without corrosion or damage: corrosion-protected paper or oil coating where needed, then cartons, drums, or bulk bags, palletized or crated for the container. We can match specific labeling, barcoding, or carton-marking requirements for OEM and repeat buyers.
