Heading 7315 — Chain and parts thereof, of iron or steel
Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 731582 when importing or exporting welded link chains made of iron or steel. These chains are commonly used in various applications, such as securing cargo or lifting heavy items. For example, a shipment of industrial-grade welded link chains for construction use would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers welded link chains, distinguishing them from other types of chains like those made from non-ferrous metals or chains that are not welded. For instance, HS-6 731581 includes non-welded chains, which are often used in different applications and have different specifications.
When classifying your products, ensure that the chains are indeed welded and made from iron or steel. If you have chains that are merely linked without welding, you may need to consider a different HS code.
Welded link chains can vary in thickness, length, and intended use, which can affect their classification. Always check the specifications and intended application to ensure accurate classification.
