L sections

L or T sections, not further worked than hot rolled, hot drawn or extruded, of a height of 80 mm or more

T sections

Copper powders and flakes

Furthermore, as stated above, bolts are not necessarily combined with nuts and washers.

This is borne out by the imports from some of those producers in the countries concerned, which produce and sell either nuts or bolts, as well as by the fact that the sampled Community producers manufacture screws and bolts but not nuts.

Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles (e.g., open seam, riveted or similarly closed), of iron or steel (excl. of cast iron, seamless or welded tubes and pipes and tubes and pipes having internal and external circular cross sections and an external diameter of  406,4 mm)

Screw hooks, screw rings and the like, threaded, of copper (excl. standard screws and bolts and nuts)

Stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, of copper, not electrically insulated

Staples

of ash (Fraxinus spp.)

Hats and other headgear, plaited or made by assembling strips of any material, whether or not lined or trimmed

Following the imposition of provisional measures, the cooperating Thai exporting producers alleged that nuts and bolts are normally marketed and developed together and, therefore, if nuts were to be excluded from the product scope, bolts should be excluded from the scope of the proceeding as well.

Flat rolled products of alloy steel other than stainless, of a width of  600 mm, hot rolled or cold rolled (cold reduced) and electrolytically plated or coated with zinc (excl. products of silicon electrical steel)

While nuts are typically used in conjunction with bolts, they are not typically sold as a set.

This is particularly apparent in the case of the Philippines, from where virtually all imports consisted of nuts without any corresponding imports of bolts.

Other bars and rods of iron or non alloy steel

U, I or H sections, not further worked than hot rolled, hot drawn or extruded, of a height of 80 mm or more

Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, welded, of non circular cross section, of iron or steel other than stainless steel (excl. tubes and pipes having internal and external circular cross sections and an external diameter of  406,4 mm, line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines or casing and tubing of a kind used in drilling for oil or gas, and tubes and pipes and hollow profiles of square or rectangular cross section)

Stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof (SSF) are bolts, nuts and screws of stainless steel which are used to mechanically join two or more elements.

Consequently, and in light of the findings set out in recitals 11 and 12 that nuts are not marketed and developed together with bolts, the claim was rejected and only nuts were excluded from the scope of the proceeding.

Flat rolled products of alloy steel other than stainless, of a width of  600 mm, hot rolled or cold rolled (cold reduced) and further worked (excl. plated or coated with zinc and products of silicon electrical steel)

Flat rolled products of alloy steel other than stainless, of a width of  600 mm, not further worked than hot rolled, not in coils, of a thickness of  10 mm (excl. products of tool steel, high speed steel or silicon electrical steel)

Flat rolled products of alloy steel other than stainless, of a width of  600 mm, hot rolled or cold rolled (cold reduced) and plated or coated with zinc (excl. electrolytically plated or coated and products of silicon electrical steel)

Flat rolled products of tool steel, of a width of  600 mm, not further worked than hot rolled, not in coils

Flat rolled products of high speed steel, of a width of  600 mm, not further worked than cold rolled (cold reduced)

This is also obvious from the description of the HS code 731815 other screws or bolts whether or not with their nuts or washers .

Screws, bolts, nuts and similar articles, threaded, of copper (other than screw hooks, ring and eyebolts, lag screws, plugs, bungs and the like, with screw thread)

Also, bolts can be used as fastening devices without nuts, which shows that there can be different end uses between bolts and nuts.
