7317.00.65 - Other

This HTS subheading, 7317.00.65, encompasses a broad category of "Other" articles of iron or steel that are similar to nails, tacks, and staples, but do not fit into more specific classifications within heading 7317. The defining characteristic is that these articles are constructed of one piece, meaning they are not assembled from multiple components.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7317.00.55 ("Made of round wire"), by the method of manufacture or material composition of the primary body. While 7317.00.55 specifically applies to articles formed from round wire, this "Other" category includes articles that may be cut, forged, or otherwise shaped from iron or steel, but not specifically from round wire.

Within this "Other" category, further subclassification is provided to address distinct manufacturing processes. The subcategory 7317.00.65.30 covers articles that are "Cut," indicating they are formed by cutting sections from larger pieces of material. The subcategory 7317.00.65.60, designated as "Other," captures all remaining one-piece articles of iron or steel that are similar to nails, tacks, and staples but do not fall under the "Cut" subcategory or the sibling category.
