RE: The tariff classification of carriage bolts from Taiwan.

Dear Mr. Golden:

This is in response to your request for a tariff classification ruling dated January 29, 1997.

All of the fasteners have round heads, square under-heads, flat points, and are threaded along the total length of the shank. These fasteners are commonly known as carriage bolts.

The applicable subheading for the submitted fasteners which have shanks under 6mm in diameter will be 7318.15.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Bolts and bolts and their nuts or washers entered or exported in the same shipment: Having shanks or threads with a diameter of less than 6 mm. The rate of duty will be .3 percent ad valorem.
