Why Machine Screws Are in Demand in Mogadishu
- ▸Hardware wholesalers and distributors in Mogadishu keep machine screws in stock for contractors and workshops.
Minimum Order — Container Quantity (Approx.)
Machine screws are small and light, so a standard 20ft container (~20 tons) typically holds several million to over ten million pieces in common sizes — exact quantity depends heavily on length and diameter 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.

Electronics enclosure assembly
Small pan or countersunk screws securing PCB mounts, covers, and housings.

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.
