Overview
This HTS subcategory, 7317.00.75.00, specifically classifies nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, staples, and similar articles made of iron or steel that are constructed from two or more distinct pieces. This construction method is a key defining characteristic, distinguishing these articles from those fabricated as a single, integral unit. Examples within this category would include fasteners where a separate head is affixed to a shank through a process like riveting or welding, or where multiple components are joined to form the final article.
The critical differentiator for this category lies in its construction method when compared to the sibling category "Of one piece construction." While both categories deal with similar types of iron or steel fasteners, the "Of one piece construction" category exclusively covers items forged, stamped, or otherwise formed from a single piece of metal. In contrast, 7317.00.75.00 encompasses items where the final article is assembled from multiple components, even if the primary material remains iron or steel.
As this classification node represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under this heading relies on thoroughly verifying that the article in question is indeed composed of two or more joined pieces and meets the general description of nails, tacks, staples, or similar articles of iron or steel as outlined in the parent heading. The presence of heads made of materials other than copper is permissible, but the core construction and primary material of the fastener itself must be iron or steel.
