How to choose the right subheading
- Decide whether the article is a chain, a part of chain, or a separate article such as wire rope or a fastener.
- Identify the chain type: roller or other articulated link chain, skid chain, or other chain such as stud link or welded link.
- For articulated link chain, check pitch and whether it contains more than 3 parts per pitch; bicycle chain has its own line.
- For other welded link chain, check whether the steel is alloy or nonalloy and the link diameter.
- Confirm whether the item is a part, because parts have their own lines.
