Description of the goods

Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7318, 7318 12 and 7318 12 10. Given its characteristics (partially threaded shank, notch at the end of the pointed tip and no bifurcation), the article is specifically designed to bite its way into wood. The article is therefore considered to be a wood screw falling under subheading 7318 12. The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7318 12 10 as a wood screw of stainless steel.
