Last updated: April 2026 dataGeneral-purpose iron and steel chain not elsewhere specified serves a wide range of industrial, agricultural, marine, and consumer applications—from lifting slings and logging to anchor rode and retail display. Because chain is a steel-intensive product, it sits at the intersection of Section 232 steel tariffs and, for Chinese-origin goods, Section 301 measures, making duty-stack analysis a routine part of landed-cost calculations. Importers must also distinguish this heading from stud-link anchor chain, roller chain, and other chain types that carry their own specific classifications.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Several chain types have dedicated classifications: roller chain for power transmission, stud-link anchor chain, tire skid chain, and watch or jewelry chain are among those classified under more specific headings. The NES heading captures only chain that does not fall within a more specific provision, so importers should confirm that their product is not more precisely described elsewhere before using this classification.
Iron and steel chain from China can be subject to both Section 232 tariffs (as a steel-derivative product) and Section 301 tariffs, potentially stacking additional duties on top of the base MFN rate. Importers should conduct a full duty-stack analysis and check for any product-specific exclusions that may have been granted, consulting a licensed customs broker to confirm current applicability.
