Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the cotter pin has any threading
Threaded articles like partially threaded cotter pins are classified under non-threaded rivets? No, threaded go to 7318.15 or 7318.16; pure cotters are non-threaded.
If sold as part of a threaded fastener set
When packaged with screws or bolts for retail, it may be treated as 'similar articles' under other non-threaded but set-based headings.
If for industrial machine-specific cotters
Cotter pins designed as parts of transmissions or clutches fall under Chapter 84 machinery parts.
