What determines the tariff number?
- Case material (precious metals). Lanyards with precious metal cases or precious metal plating are classified differently from those made of other materials. The metal composition is a key classification factor.
- Mechanism type (electrical or mechanical). An electrically powered lanyard is classified differently from one with mechanical winding or automatic movement. The power system fundamentally determines the tariff code.
- Display technology. Whether the lanyard features mechanical, optoelectronic, or other display elements affects its HS code. This distinction is central to Swiss nomenclature rules.
- Additional functions. Lanyards with built-in features such as stopwatch functions may receive a different HS code than basic lanyards without such additions.
