Import Tips
• Verify key composition meets base metal requirements (e.g
• brass, steel) via material certificates to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'keys presented separately' to distinguish from lock sets under 8301.10
• Check for anti-dumping duties on certain brass keys from specific countries like China
