Overview
This HTS category, 7315.20.10.00, specifically classifies skid chains manufactured from iron or steel that have a diameter not exceeding 8 millimeters. These chains are designed for use in demanding traction applications, typically for vehicles operating on snow, ice, or rough terrain to prevent slippage and improve maneuverability. The key defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is the relatively small diameter of the chain links.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7315.20.50.00, which covers skid chains with a diameter exceeding 8 millimeters. The distinction hinges solely on the physical dimension of the chain's individual links. Therefore, proper measurement of the chain's diameter is the primary determinant for accurate classification between these two sibling codes.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under 7315.20.10.00. Classification decisions at this level rely entirely on adherence to the descriptive criteria and the preceding hierarchical context, which establishes the material (iron or steel) and general product type (skid chain).
