Stainless Steel Fasteners Wholesaler
We wholesale stainless steel fasteners in bulk to distributors, retailers, and hardware stockists, with volume pricing and container-load (FCL/LCL) shipping options.
As a wholesaler, we hold ready stock across common sizes and grades and supply distributors, retailers, and hardware stockists at volume pricing — the buyer relationship here is about consistent supply and competitive per-unit cost at container-load quantities.
Wholesale buyers typically care more about consistent lead time and pricing stability across repeat orders than about a single one-off transaction, which is why we hold ready stock specifically for the sizes and grades that move fastest, rather than manufacturing every order from scratch.
The 304 vs. 316 decision comes down almost entirely to one alloying element: molybdenum, added in 316, which dramatically improves resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion. In practice this means 304 performs perfectly well in most indoor and general outdoor settings, while 316 earns its higher price specifically in marine, coastal, and chemical-exposure environments where chlorides are present.
Minimum Order — Container Quantity (Approx.)
A standard 20ft container (~20 tons) holds approximately 500,000-800,000 pieces of stainless fasteners in common sizes (M10-M12) — stainless steel's density is close to carbon steel, so counts are similar. Exact quantity depends on the specific product and 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.

Marine & coastal structures
Grade 316 fasteners for saltwater and coastal-atmosphere exposure.
Food & beverage processing
Fasteners meeting hygienic, corrosion-free requirements in processing equipment.
Architectural & facade work
Visible exterior fastening where appearance and corrosion resistance both matter.
Chemical & pharmaceutical plants
Fasteners resistant to chemical exposure and easy to clean.
Materials Available
Austenitic stainless steel
Chemical composition and corrosion-resistance testing available on request, with mill test certificates confirming grade.
Our Process
- 1
Grade confirmation
Confirm 304 vs 316 based on the exposure environment (general vs chloride/marine).
- 2
Manufacturing
Cold forging or machining from certified stainless bar stock.
- 3
Passivation
Pickling and passivation to maximize the natural corrosion-resistant oxide layer.
- 4
Export packing
Bulk or retail packing, palletized for container loading.
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.
