Stainless Steel Welded Link Chain
A durable chain made from welded stainless steel links, each with cross-sectional dimensions under 16 mm, used for general industrial tying and securing applications. It falls under HTS 7315.89.5000 as 'other chain' of iron or steel, not classified as articulated, roller, or specifically for bicycles or transmissions. This classification applies to welded chains excluding ornamental or specialized types.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify wire diameter does not exceed 16 mm per Chapter 73 note to avoid reclassification as 'wire' products
• Provide mill test certificates confirming iron/steel composition to prevent disputes at customs
• Label chains clearly as 'industrial use' to distinguish from ornamental types that may shift to Chapter 83
