Stud harmonized system code

Product Overview A Stud, classified under HS Code 7318, is a distinct type of threaded rod utilized in various industries for numerous applications. The Stud is meticulously crafted from high-quality metal materials, including steel, aluminium, and stainless steel, featuring two ends that can be either unthreaded or fully threaded based on specific usage requirements. Within the HS Code 7318, Studs are typically found under subcategories associated with screws, bolts, and other threaded articles, signifying their integral role in fastening and mechanical assembly processes. Commercially, these Studs are utilized predominantly in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, automotive, and even home improvement – anywhere a robust, reliable fastening solution is required. The market positioning of Studs under this category is strongly rooted in their versatile applicability, high durability, and the superior quality that upholds rigorous industrial standards. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications Studs fall under the complete HS Code 7318.15.00, where '73' represents the Chapter for 'Articles of Iron or Steel', '18' indicates the Heading for 'Screws, Bolts, Nuts, Coach screws, Screw Hooks, Rivets, Cotters, Cotter Pins, Washers, and similar articles', and '15.00' signifies the Subheading for 'Threaded articles'. This classification is attributed to the Stud's threaded nature and its commonality with other fasteners primarily made from iron or steel. Trade considerations for Studs involve packaging in sturdy, secure containers to prevent damage during transit – standard preservation methods include rust-resistant coatings and individually wrapping each Stud to maintain quality. Shipping requirements typically encompass proper labelling detailing product specifications, origin, and handling instructions. Quality standards adherence is paramount, with Studs often needing to conform to ISO, ASTM, or similar international standards. By aligning with these specifications, Studs support a smooth, efficient international trade process, meeting the stringent requirements of customs classification and trade documentation.
