Import Tips
• Verify chain strength ratings (e.g
• proof load) and certify compliance with marine standards like ABS or Lloyd's Register
• Provide mill test certificates showing cast iron/steel composition to avoid misclassification as welded chain
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; declare actual marine-grade pricing to prevent customs penalties
