Overview
This HTS category, 7317.00.55.80, specifically covers articles of iron or steel, such as nails, tacks, and similar fasteners, that are coated with vinyl, resin, or cement. These coatings are applied to provide enhanced properties like corrosion resistance, improved grip, electrical insulation, or a decorative finish. The "other" designation at this level indicates that the coating is not galvanized, distinguishing it from the sibling category.
Unlike galvanized fasteners (7317.00.55.70), which are coated with zinc through an electroplating or hot-dip process, these articles are protected by distinct layers of vinyl, resin, or cement. The specific type of coating (vinyl, resin, or cement) dictates the unique protective qualities and potential applications of the article.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7317.00.55.80 is determined by the presence of a vinyl, resin, or cement coating on the specified iron or steel fasteners, and the absence of galvanization or other specific coating types covered elsewhere in the tariff.
