Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 731812 when importing or exporting threaded wood screws made of iron or steel. These screws are commonly used in furniture assembly and construction projects, providing a secure fastening solution.
This code specifically covers threaded wood screws that are not classified as coach screws. If you have screws designed for wood applications with a pointed tip and a helical ridge, this is the correct classification.
