7326.20.00.30 - Sod staples, U staples, irrigation staples, ground staples, and ground pins 🖩

This HTS category, 7326.20.00.30, specifically covers various types of staples and pins manufactured from iron or steel wire. This includes common items like "sod staples," used for securing sod or landscape materials, "U staples" and "irrigation staples," often employed in agricultural or horticultural settings for fastening tubing or netting, and "ground staples" or "ground pins," which are typically used to anchor materials to the ground. The defining characteristic of these articles is their construction from wire and their primary function as fasteners or anchors.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories by its exclusive focus on wire-formed staples and pins for specific securing purposes. For instance, while 7326.20.00.10 covers "belts and belting," and 7326.20.00.20 addresses "garment hangers," neither of these involve the same type of wire-formed fastener as found in this category. Similarly, "double loop bar ties and double loop wire ties" (7326.20.00.40) are distinct in their construction and typical application, often used in concrete reinforcement or general tying purposes.

As a leaf node, category 7326.20.00.30 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on a thorough understanding of the article's physical form, material (iron or steel wire), and intended use as a sod staple, irrigation staple, ground staple, ground pin, or a functionally equivalent U-shaped fastener. It is crucial to differentiate these from other wire articles or general fasteners that might fall under the residual "Other" category (7326.20.00.90).
