Import Tips & Compliance

• If the lanyard includes a metal or plastic clip, ensure the cordage component determines the essential character

• Declare the lanyard as a cordage article, not as a textile accessory of Chapter 63

• Check if the lanyard is considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which may affect classification
