Dear Mr. Walsh: In your letter dated October 23, 2000, submitted on behalf of your client, Flexible Steel Lacing Company (FSL), you requested a tariff classification ruling. You have described your submitted samples as elevator and piloted bolts. They are threaded, made of steel or stainless steel, and used for assembly and fastening purposes. The elevator bolts are used to attach various types of buckets to conveyor belts that move material to higher levels. These bolts have round heads. The piloted bolts have square-shaped notches or indentations in their heads and are designed to function with FSL’s solid plate belt fastener systems. The classification is for the threaded fastener with its nut when imported independently from the plate. All of the bolts that are the subject of this ruling are larger than 6 mm in diameter.
