HS Code for Threaded fasteners
Threaded fasteners of iron or steel that are not specifically named in other subheadings of 7318 are classified under HS code 7318.19. Chapter 73 covers articles of iron or steel, and heading 7318 specifically addresses screws, bolts, nuts, coach screws, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, washers, and similar articles. Within the threaded category (7318.11 through 7318.19), the system provides specific codes for coach screws, wood screws, screw hooks, self-tapping screws, and other bolts and nuts. HS code 7318.19 serves as a residual or "basket" category for any other threaded articles that do not fit the precise definitions of the preceding subheadings. This includes specialized industrial fasteners, threaded studs without heads, and custom-engineered threaded components. The primary requirement for classification here is that the article must be made of iron or steel and must possess a thread, whether internal or external, used for fastening purposes.

Common Misclassification
Threaded fasteners are often misclassified under 7318.15, which is for "Other screws and bolts, whether or not with their nuts or washers." If a fastener has a head and functions as a standard bolt, 7318.15 is correct; however, if it lacks a head (like a stud), 7318.19 is more appropriate. They are also sometimes confused with 7318.29, which is for non-threaded fasteners like pins or clips.
