HS-6 · Subheading
731520
Chain; skid, articulated link chain and parts thereof, of iron or steel
Heading 7315 — Chain and parts thereof, of iron or steel
Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 731520 when importing or exporting articulated link chains made of iron or steel. These chains are often used in heavy machinery, construction, and transportation applications. For example, a shipment of articulated link chains for a logging operation would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers chains that are articulated, meaning they consist of links that can pivot relative to each other, allowing for flexibility and strength. In contrast, HS-6 731521 covers non-articulated chains, which are rigid and typically used in different applications.
When classifying under this heading, it’s important to note that the chains can come in various sizes and strengths, tailored for specific uses. For instance, chains used in towing vehicles or securing loads are common examples of products classified under this HS-6.
If you're dealing with parts of these chains, such as connectors or links designed to work with articulated chains, you would still use this HS-6. However, ensure that they are specifically designed for articulated link chains to avoid misclassification.
