| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| A galvanised article consisting of a steel U-shaped bolt threaded at both ends, two hexagon nuts and a cast steel clamp with two holes for the passage of the bolt.The article is used for holding, for example, two or more wires together by placing the wires in the U-bolt, fitting the clamp over the wires and tightening the nuts.note See image. | 73269098 | Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7326, 732690 and 73269098.As the function of the article consisting of a bolt, two nuts and a clamp is different from that of a bolt, that is, it does not tighten and loosen together directly different elements, classification under heading 7318 as a bolt or similar article is excluded (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 7326, point (1)).The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 73269098 as other articles of steel. |
