Overview
This HTS classification, 7315.11.00.05, specifically covers roller chain and its component parts, when manufactured from iron or steel, and intended for use in motor vehicles. Roller chain is a type of articulated mechanical chain characterized by cylindrical rollers that surround the pins of each link. This design significantly reduces friction and wear, making it ideal for transmitting power or motion in demanding applications such as the drivetrain of automobiles.
Within the broader category of articulated link chain (7315.11), this subheading is distinguished by its explicit application in motor vehicles. Other roller chains, not intended for automotive use, would fall under the sibling category (7315.11.00.90), which covers "Other" roller chains. The "For motor vehicles" designation serves as a crucial determinative factor for classification, emphasizing the intended end-use of the chain.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories under 7315.11.00.05. Therefore, classification under this subheading hinges on confirming the material (iron or steel), the type of chain (articulated link, roller chain), and its specific intended use in motor vehicles, often evidenced by product specifications or invoices.
