It is in the form of a nut with a flange on one end.\nThe article is designed to be used in the pipeline assembly of the hydraulic braking system of a motor vehicle.\nThe article, when tightened, causes the components of the connecting joint to settle into the correct position, thus securing the hydraulic seal.\nSee images.\n7318 16 39\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, 7318 16 and 7318 16 39.\nThe article has the objective characteristics of ‘threaded articles’ classified under heading 7318.\nClassification under heading 7307 as tube or pipe fittings is excluded as the article only presses on the components that form the connection in the joint and is not in contact with the liquid transmitted via the pipeline. The inner thread of the article is not designed to form or maintain a hydraulic seal.\nThe article cannot be classified as an unfinished fitting/coupling by virtue of GIR 2(a) for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature because it does not have the essential character of the finished fitting/coupling.\nBolts, nuts, screws, etc. suitable for use in the assembly of tube or pipe fittings are excluded from heading 7307 (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 7307, exclusions, point (b)).\nConsequently, the article is to be classified under CN code 7318 16 39 as other nuts of stainless steel.",
