Import Tips
• 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
