What determines the tariff number?
- Material of the keychain. Keychains made from plastic, rubber or metal are classified differently. The base material is decisive for the HS code assignment.
- Mechanical or electrical features. If the keychain contains moving parts, fasteners or electronics, the classification changes. Simple keychains are coded differently from those with functional features.
- Precious metals or coatings. If the keychain contains or is made of precious metals like gold or silver, it receives a separate tariff code. Surface treatments also matter significantly.
- Construction and composition. Multi-layered design, reinforcement with other materials or special construction affects the HS code. Simple versus composite materials are classified separately.
Permits & requirements
