7318.14.10.60 - Other

This HTS category, 7318.14.10.60, specifically covers "Other" self-tapping screws with shanks or threads having a diameter of less than 6 mm. It acts as a residual classification for self-tapping screws falling within this diameter range that are not explicitly classified elsewhere at this detailed level. These screws are designed to create their own threads in materials such as metal, plastic, or wood, facilitating assembly and construction across various industries.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 7318.14.10.30, by material. While 7318.14.10.30 is reserved for self-tapping screws of stainless steel, this category encompasses self-tapping screws made from other types of iron or steel. Therefore, the primary differentiator is the specific alloy or type of iron or steel used in the manufacture of the screw.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level necessitates careful examination of the screw's diameter (less than 6 mm) and its material composition to ensure accurate placement within the tariff schedule, distinguishing it from the stainless steel variant.
