Self-Tapping Screws Manufacturer, Wholesaler, Supplier & Exporter to South Africa
Self-Tapping Screws manufacturer, wholesaler, supplier and exporter in South Africa. Global Fasteners Exports is a trading and export company: our self-tapping screws are made to DIN 7981, DIN 7982, DIN 7504, ISO 7049 standards by partner factories and supplied to buyers in South Africa from 10,000 pcs, or a half or full container, at competitive prices below the average wholesale price.
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. Made by our partner factories, we supply and export these in pan, countersunk, and hex-washer head styles for roofing, cladding, and general assembly. South Africa's mining, construction, and heavy machinery sectors depend on a steady supply of certified structural and general-purpose fasteners. We ship into the Port of Durban, South Africa's busiest container port, and the Port of Cape Town.

Minimum order and container quantity
Minimum order
10,000 pcs
or half / full container, as per your requirement
Half container (20ft)
about half of that
Full container (20ft)
several million pcs (depends on size)
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.
The minimum order is 10,000 pcs, so you don't need a full container to order: half-container and smaller LCL orders are available as well. 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.
