Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1874
Of 23 July 2026 — CELEX 32026R1874
Description of the goods
Galvanised threaded rods of steel other than stainless steel, with a metric thread along their entire length, without a head or recess, with a tensile strength of less than 800 MPa, in different lengths (between 1 000 and 3 000 mm) and diameters (between 4 and 36 mm). They are presented without nuts, washers or similar elements. The articles are used for joining, suspending or fixing a wide range of equipment and components. See images. (*1)
Reasons
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1 (d) to Chapter 72 and by the wording of CN codes 7318, 7318 15 and 7318 15 42. Since the article is threaded and used to assemble or fasten goods so that they can be readily disassembled without damage (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 7318 (A), first paragraph), it has the objective characteristics of an article of subheading 7318 15 (screw studding; see also the HSEN to heading 7318 (A), third paragraph). Consequently, classification under CN code 7318 19 00 as other threaded articles is excluded. The articles are therefore to be classified under CN code7318 15 42 as other screws and bolts without heads, of steel other than stainless steel, with a tensile strength of less than 800 MPa.
