The terms customs uses are completely unrelated to normal human words for things. They have a 21-page document (https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/202...) describing the difference between a bolt and a screw. It starts off by citing the regulation differentiating them by intended use, then spends the rest of the document differentiating them solely by looks.

"What Every Member of the Trade Community Should Know About: Distinguishing Bolts from Screws"

Is this a parody of some sort?
