Import Tips
• Include heat treatment certificates to substantiate Grade 43 strength claims during customs valuation
• Ensure supplier provides dimensional specs (link size, wire dia.) to confirm under 16 mm for correct heading
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'alloy steel' without chromium/nickel content proof, risking reclassification
