Overview
This HTS category, 7315.12.00.80, encompasses "Other" articulated link chain and parts thereof made from iron or steel that do not fall under the specific subheadings for welded steel chain or cast and combination chain. It serves as a residual category for articulated link chains designed for various industrial, mechanical, or general lifting and hauling applications, excluding those explicitly defined by their manufacturing process (welded) or specific construction (cast and combination).
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 7315.12.00.40 (Welded steel chain) and 7315.12.00.60 (Cast and combination chain), is crucial. Welded steel chain is characterized by links joined by welding, while cast and combination chain involves links formed by casting or a mix of different link types. This "Other" category would therefore include articulated link chains manufactured through methods other than welding, such as forged chains (if not falling under cast/combination), or chains with unique link designs not covered by the more specific categories.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 7315.12.00.80 relies on a thorough examination of the chain's physical characteristics, intended use, and manufacturing process to confirm it does not meet the criteria for the more specifically defined sibling categories under articulated link chain. This includes ensuring the chain is indeed of the articulated link type and that its construction and purpose align with the general scope of chain and parts thereof, of iron or steel.
