Overview
This HTS category, 7315.20.50.00, specifically covers skid chains of iron or steel that have a diameter exceeding 8 millimeters. Skid chains are a type of chain designed for use on tires to provide increased traction, particularly in off-road, snow, or icy conditions. The key distinguishing characteristic for classification under this code is the physical dimension of the chain's components; here, the diameter of the links or cross-members must be greater than 8 mm.
This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 7315.20.10.00, which is designated for skid chains with diameters not exceeding 8 millimeters. Therefore, the sole criterion for differentiating between these two closely related subheadings is the precise measurement of the chain's diameter. Importers and exporters must carefully measure their skid chains to ensure accurate classification and compliance.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7315.20.50.00 is final based on the material (iron or steel), type (skid chain), and the specified diameter exceeding 8 mm. This ensures that all skid chains fitting this description are treated consistently for customs purposes.
