About chain and parts thereof, of iron or steel

HS code 7315 covers a wide range of chain and chain parts made of iron or steel. These products are essential components in various industries, including construction, mining, transportation, and material handling. Chains are used for a variety of purposes, such as lifting, securing, and transmitting power, making them a crucial element in many industrial and commercial applications. The global chain market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand from end-user industries and the need for reliable and durable chain solutions.

Production process

The production of chains and chain parts under HS code 7315 typically involves several key steps. The process often begins with the manufacturing of individual chain links, which can be done through various methods such as stamping, forging, or casting. The links are then assembled and connected to form the desired chain configuration, which may include different types of chains, such as roller chains, leaf chains, or welded chains. Heat treatment and surface finishing processes, such as galvanization or painting, are often applied to enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of chains and chain parts under HS code 7315 include raw materials such as iron or steel, as well as various types of machinery and equipment. Depending on the specific chain design and production method, additional inputs may include fasteners, lubricants, and specialized tools. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the overall production efficiency and the performance of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 7315 are various types of chains and chain parts, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries. These chains may be used in 8425 Pulley tackle and hoists, 8426 Derricks; cranes; mobile lifting frames, straddle carriers and works trucks fitted with a crane, 8427 Fork-lift trucks; other works trucks fitted with lifting or handling equipment, and 8428 Other lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery, among others. The specific applications and end-uses of these chains can vary greatly, depending on the industry and the specific requirements of the application.
