Brass Fasteners Manufacturer, Wholesaler, Supplier & Exporter
Brass fasteners combine corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and a non-sparking property that makes them the standard choice for electrical fittings, plumbing, and decorative hardware. We manufacture and export brass bolts, nuts, screws, and inserts.
Brass earns its place in electrical and plumbing hardware from a combination of properties no single alternative matches as well: good electrical conductivity, natural corrosion resistance in wet environments, and — critically for certain industrial settings — a non-sparking property when struck, which is why brass fasteners show up in hazardous or flammable-atmosphere fittings where a steel fastener would be a genuine ignition risk.
Free-cutting brass (the grade used in most fastener manufacturing) trades some strength for excellent machinability, which is exactly the right tradeoff for small-diameter electrical and decorative hardware but makes it a poor substitute anywhere genuine structural load-bearing is required — brass fasteners are not a drop-in replacement for steel in load-critical applications.
Minimum Order — Container Quantity (Approx.)
A standard 20ft container (~20 tons) typically holds 3-5 million pieces of small brass fasteners in common sizes — brass is denser than steel, which reduces piece count per container slightly for the same volume. 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.

Natural brass or plated finishes for visible hardware applications.
Common Mistakes Buyers Make
Using brass fasteners for structural load
Free-cutting brass trades strength for machinability — it's not a substitute for steel in load-bearing applications.
Over-torquing small brass screws
Brass is softer than steel and strips more easily — match torque to the fastener's actual rated strength, not habit from steel hardware.
Ignoring dezincification risk in aggressive water
Some water chemistries can leach zinc from brass over time — a dezincification-resistant (DZR) brass grade is worth specifying for plumbing in aggressive water conditions.
Glossary of Terms
- Free-cutting brass (C36000)
- The most common brass alloy for fastener manufacturing, optimized for machinability over maximum strength.
- Dezincification
- A corrosion process in which zinc leaches out of brass in certain water chemistries, weakening the fastener over time.
- Non-sparking property
- Brass's resistance to producing sparks when struck, relevant to fastener selection in flammable-atmosphere environments.
Quality Inspection We Perform
Dimensional inspection
Thread gauge, length, diameter, and head/drive geometry checked against the specified standard.
Material verification
Grade and material composition confirmed against the order specification, with mill test certificates on request.
Mechanical testing
Tensile strength, hardness, and proof-load testing on sample batches, particularly for structural and high-tensile grades.
Finish & coating check
Plating thickness, galvanizing coverage, or passivation quality inspected before packing.
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.
