Import Tips
• Verify alloy steel composition via mill test certificates to confirm classification under 7315.82 vs. carbon steel (7315.89)
• Measure maximum link diameter precisely; exceeding 10 mm shifts to 7315.82.50.00
• Ensure no attachments like hooks are included, as sets may classify under 7326.90
