Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloy steel composition
Nonalloy requirement strict; any alloying elements meeting Chapter notes shift to 7225.
If drawn into specific shapes
Significant cold-forming beyond plating makes 'other' screws/bolts/nuts.
If width of 300 mm or more but <600 mm
Narrow width (<300 mm) specific to this subheading; wider goes to 7212.30.50.
