Import Tips
• Verify link diameter does not exceed 8mm and cross-sections are essentially round to avoid reclassification; provide manufacturer specs on chain construction
• Ensure country-of-origin marking on packaging for consumer products
• Common pitfall: misclassifying as jewelry if sold with attachments
