China is the second largest source of fastener imports in the United States, and the United States is currently levying anti-dumping duties on spring washers and threaded rods. If the list involves products such as metal products, it is estimated that there will be more tightness. Firmware products are subject to anti-dumping duties. "In this list, it is truly including the nut, steel or iron (731816).

Nantong Jindi Fastener Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Jindi”) is mainly engaged in the manufacture, processing, wholesale and retail of fasteners, most of which are exported to Europe, Middle East, South America and the United States.
