When sold as a complete wheel set for retail, classification shifts to finished vehicle parts under heading 8708, not individual threaded nuts.
If for non-threaded wheel mounting hardware
If the lugnut lacks threading and functions as a clip or stud for road wheels, it moves to Chapter 87 as wheel parts rather than Chapter 73 threaded articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify nut dimensions and thread pitch match M12 standards to avoid misclassification as general nuts under 7318.16.00
• Include material certificates confirming carbon steel composition to comply with Chapter 73 notes on iron or steel articles
• Label shipments clearly as 'automotive lugnuts' to prevent customs confusion with industrial nuts; common pitfall is undervaluation
