Import Tips

• Verify chain pitch measurement and part count per pitch with manufacturer specs to confirm HTS 7315.12.0020 classification

• Provide material certificates proving iron/steel composition; stainless steel may qualify for duty exemptions under certain trade agreements

• Avoid misclassification as machinery parts (HTS 84); include invoices specifying 'chain for power transmission' use
