ANSI 40 Roller Chain
This articulated link roller chain has a pitch of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm), less than 50 mm, and contains more than 3 parts per pitch including inner links, outer links, bushings, and rollers. It is classified under HTS 7315.11.0045 as a steel roller chain of iron or steel for power transmission in machinery. The chain's design fits the 'other' category for chains not exceeding 50 mm pitch with multiple components per pitch.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pitch exceeds 50 mm
Chains with pitch over 50 mm shift to 7315.12, regardless of parts per pitch, per subheading structure.
If not articulated link or roller type
Non-roller or non-articulated chains like weldless or cast chains classify under 'other chain' in 7315.89.
If imported as complete transmission assembly
If assembled into a sprocket-driven system for machinery, it becomes a transmission shaft component under Chapter 84.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify chain pitch and part count per pitch with manufacturer specs to confirm HTS 7315.11.0045 classification; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Provide detailed engineering drawings or samples for CBP review to avoid disputes on 'roller chain' vs other chain types
• Ensure country-of-origin marking on packaging as chains are often scrutinized for anti-dumping duties from certain origins
