  "text": "Description of the goods\nClassification(CN code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\nA product comprising a bolt with a washer, an expandable anchor sleeve and a nut, all made of stainless steel.\nThe bolt has a hexagonal head, is 55 mm long, threaded throughout and has a tensile strength of 490 MPa.\nThe anchor sleeve is 42 mm long with an external diameter of 10 mm when not expanded. It is not threaded.\nThe product is used for fixing articles to a hard substance, such as a concrete wall, by first inserting the anchor sleeve, with the nut inside, in a drilled hole and then inserting and fastening the bolt. As the bolt is fastened, the nut is drawn towards to head of the bolt, causing the anchor sleeve to expand, securing the article firmly to the hard substance.\n7318 19 00\nClassification is determined by General Rules (GIR) 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7318 and 7318 19 00.\nThe product is not composite goods within the meaning of GIR 3 (b) as the individual components together constitute a single product, an expansion bolt. Classification according to the component that gives the product its essential character is therefore excluded.\nClassification under subheading 7318 15 as a bolt, whether or not with its nuts and washers, is excluded, because the anchor sleeve is a product other than a nut or a washer.\nGiven its characteristics, the product is therefore to be classified under CN code 7318 19 00 as other threaded articles.",
