Stihl Professional Chainsaw Chain 18 Inch

A high-performance 18-inch chainsaw chain designed for professional use with cutting teeth containing over 0.2% chromium and 0.1% vanadium by weight for superior durability and edge retention. This falls under HTS 8202.40.30.00 due to its alloyed cutting parts meeting the specified elemental thresholds in chain saw blades.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8202.40Same rate: 42.2%

If cutting parts have lower alloy content

Chains with 0.2% or less Cr/Mo/W and 0.1% or less V fall into the residual subheading with potentially different duties.

8202.39.00Lower: 35% vs 42.2%

If for circular saw blades with similar alloys

High-alloy cutting edges on circular slitting/slotting blades are classified separately from chain saw types.

8432.90.00Lower: 35% vs 42.2%

If imported as complete chainsaw assembly part

If supplied as an integrated part of a complete chainsaw rather than a replaceable blade, it shifts to chainsaw parts heading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alloy composition certificates from manufacturer to confirm chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, or vanadium content meets HTS criteria

Ensure chain pitch, gauge, and drive link count are documented for customs valuation and statistical reporting

Avoid misclassification as lower-duty plain carbon chains by providing material analysis reports
