Import Tips & Compliance
• Label chain with working load limit (WLL) per NACM standards; lack of markings can lead to customs holds
• Separate from BBB chain during declaration to avoid blending with higher-strength types under the same subheading
• Include photos or diagrams showing welded link construction to confirm 'articulated link chain' status
