Overview
This HTS category, 7318.15.20.95, encompasses a broad range of steel screws and bolts that do not fit into more specific subcategories. Specifically, it covers bolts and screw-and-bolt assemblies, including those with nuts or washers entered simultaneously, that have shanks or threads measuring 6 mm or more in diameter. The "Other" designation at this level signifies that these are standard steel fasteners not made of stainless steel, and not further specified by other criteria within the 7318.15.20 subgroup.
The crucial distinction from its sibling category, 7318.15.20.91, lies in the material. While 7318.15.20.91 is exclusively for stainless steel fasteners, this category is for those manufactured from other types of iron or steel, such as carbon steel or alloy steel. This difference in material composition is a primary determinant for correct classification within this section of the tariff schedule.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 7318.15.20.95. Therefore, classification within this code relies on meeting all the preceding criteria: being a threaded article of iron or steel, an "other screw or bolt" (not a lag screw, coach screw, or screw hook), whether or not with nuts or washers, and having a shank or thread diameter of 6 mm or more, while not being of stainless steel. This category serves as the residual classification for these types of steel bolts when no more specific tariff provision applies.
