Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made of alloy steel
Alloy steel chain (with elements like chromium >0.3%) shifts to 7315.89, different from nonalloy steel in 7315.82
If links 5-10 mm in diameter
Diameter determines subheading; smaller welded links of nonalloy steel fall under 7315.81
If sold as part of a complete lifting assembly
If imported as an article of iron/steel rather than standalone chain, it may classify under other articles

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify link diameter exceeds 10mm via caliper measurement for correct subheading; provide mill test certificates for steel composition to confirm nonalloy status
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as alloy steel under 7315.89 if chrome content exceeds limits
