7317.00.65.60 - Other

This HTS category, 7317.00.65.60, encompasses "Other" articles of iron or steel that are similar to nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, and staples, but do not fit into more specific classifications within heading 7317. Specifically, it covers items of one-piece construction that are not "cut" in the manner described by its sibling category. This implies articles formed through methods other than cutting from wire or rod, such as cold heading, forging, or extrusion, and which do not possess the characteristic sharp edge formed by a distinct cut.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its manufacturing process and form. Unlike the "Cut" category (7317.00.65.30), which would include items where a distinct cutting action is the primary method of forming the point or end, this "Other" classification is for items manufactured by other methods, resulting in a non-cut tip or form. The articles classified here are typically designed for fastening or joining, but their construction method dictates their placement in this residual "Other" subcategory.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification into 7317.00.65.60 is determined by the process of elimination: if an article fits the general description of heading 7317 (nails, tacks, staples, etc., of iron or steel), is of one-piece construction, and is not specifically classified as "Cut," it will fall under this residual "Other" classification. Examples might include specially shaped pins or fasteners formed by molding or cold heading where the end is not a result of a cutting operation.
