Import Tips

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
