7318.15.80.82 - Of stainless steel

This HTS category, 7318.15.80.82, specifically classifies screws and bolts of iron or steel that are made of stainless steel. These articles are threaded, and when considering their primary shank or thread diameter, they measure 6 mm or more. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that these stainless steel fasteners do not fall into more specific sub-classifications based on further dimensional or design characteristics that may exist at higher levels.

Within the broader group of "Other screws and bolts, whether or not with their nuts or washers," this subcategory distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 7318.15.80.85, solely by material composition. While both fall under the "Other" heading for threaded articles with a diameter of 6 mm or more, 7318.15.80.82 is exclusively for those manufactured from stainless steel, implying superior corrosion resistance and specific metallurgical properties.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within this code hinges entirely on confirming the stainless steel composition for screws and bolts meeting the dimensional criteria of 6 mm or more in shank or thread diameter, and that they are not specifically defined elsewhere within the broader "Other" classifications at higher levels.
