Analysis
Subheading 7415.33 covers screws, bolts and nuts, within heading 7415. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 3 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 1.4% to 3% with a median of 3%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7415.33.05 for screws, bolts and nuts: screws for wood (3%), 7415.33.10 for muntz or yellow metal bolts (1.4%) and 7415.33.80 for screws, bolts and nuts: other screws and bolts; nuts (3%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (332722). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Goods only reach 7415.33 once they fall within heading 7415 (nails, tacks, drawing pins, staples (other than those of heading 8305) and similar…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
