Import Tips

• Ensure the chain is declared as a part of escalators (heading 84.28) and not as a general transmission chain, which would fall under heading 84.83

• Provide technical documentation showing its specific design for escalator handrail synchronization to support classification

• Check if the chain contains any electrical components that might require separate classification
