Overview
This HTS classification, 7317.00.55.05, specifically designates galvanized nails that are assembled into a plastic strip. These are generally used in pneumatic nail guns for various construction and manufacturing applications. The defining characteristic of this category is the combination of galvanization for corrosion resistance and their collation within a plastic strip for efficient mechanical feeding.
This category is distinct from its sibling, 7317.00.55.07, which covers "Other" collated nails that are made of round wire but are not assembled in a plastic strip. Therefore, if the nails are collated by other means, such as paper or wire, or are presented individually, they would fall under the sibling category. The presence of the plastic strip is the key differentiator for classification under 7317.00.55.05.
As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, it does not have any further subcategories. Classification at this level is final, focusing on the specific combination of material treatment (galvanized), construction (made of round wire, one-piece construction), and assembly method (collated in a plastic strip) to precisely identify the imported goods.
