Import Tips
• Declare the key as a separate article of base metal under 8301.70.90; do not bundle it with locks or other hardware
• Keep supplier invoices showing the brass composition to support the tariff classification
• Be aware that if the key is imported as original equipment for vehicles, it may fall under 8301.70.10 instead
