Import Tips
• 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
