Chain; n.e.c. in heading no. 7315, 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 731589 when importing or exporting iron or steel chains and their parts that aren’t specifically classified under other headings. This could include items like specialized chains used in machinery or unique components that don’t fit standard categories.
This code is distinct from HS-6 731510, which covers chain and parts specifically for bicycles. If your product is a general-purpose chain or a component used in various machinery applications, 731589 is the right classification.
The 7315 heading narrows down to chains and parts made from iron or steel, focusing on their structural and functional aspects. This includes chains used in lifting, securing, or connecting machinery and equipment.
When considering 731589, think about the end-use of the chain or part. If it’s a heavy-duty chain for industrial use or a specialized component for a specific machine, it likely falls under this category.
