Overview
This HTS category, 7318.15.20.91, specifically classifies bolts and bolts with their nuts or washers that have shanks or threads with a diameter of 6 mm or more, where these components are entered or exported together. The defining characteristic here is the material: these articles must be made of stainless steel. This designation ensures that a precise distinction is made for higher-value corrosion-resistant fasteners.
This subcategory is differentiated from its sibling, 7318.15.20.95, which covers "Other" bolts and bolts with nuts or washers meeting the same diameter and co-shipment criteria but made from materials other than stainless steel. Therefore, the key differentiator for 7318.15.20.91 is the explicit requirement for stainless steel construction.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification terminates at this point based on the material of construction. Importers and exporters should ensure that the fasteners in question are indeed made of stainless steel to accurately apply this code. This detailed classification is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
