This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If constructed with permanently welded links
Welded link chain falls under 7315.12.00 as it lacks articulated pins and bushings typical of roller chain.
If imported as complete transmission assemblies with sprockets
Sets of chains with sprockets or gears are classified as transmission machinery parts in Chapter 84 rather than standalone chain.
If for low-load applications like decorative or non-power transmission
Other articulated chain not specified as roller type may fall under 7315.89 if lacking power transmission features.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify chain pitch, roller diameter, and ANSI/ISO standards in documentation to confirm classification as roller chain under 7315.11.00
• Include material certificates proving iron or steel construction; alloy composition may affect duty rates if misclassified
• Avoid common pitfalls like declaring as 'transmission chain' without specifying roller type, which could lead to reclassification
