7318.13.00.60 - Having shanks or threads with a diameter of 6 mm or more

This HTS category, 7318.13.00.60, specifically classifies screw hooks and screw rings made of iron or steel that possess shanks or threads with a diameter measuring 6 millimeters or more. These items are designed for fastening, suspending, or securing objects, with their larger diameter indicating a requirement for greater strength, load-bearing capacity, or robustness in their application. Examples include heavy-duty screw hooks for garages or workshops, or substantial screw rings used in industrial settings for anchoring or rigging.

This specific classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 7318.13.00.30, by the critical criterion of diameter. While both categories cover screw hooks and screw rings of iron or steel, 7318.13.00.30 applies to those with shanks or threads measuring less than 6 millimeters in diameter, typically used for lighter-duty applications. Therefore, the selection between these two categories hinges solely on the measurement of the shank or thread diameter.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends here, with the defining characteristic being the diameter of the shank or thread, alongside the material and general product type.
