Import Tips & Compliance

Verify chain diameter with caliper measurements and include test certificates to confirm compliance with 'not over 10 mm' limit

Provide material composition documentation proving iron or nonalloy steel to avoid reclassification to alloy steel codes

Label chains clearly for end-use (e.g

marine) to prevent misclassification as industrial lifting chain
