Import Tips
• Submit security ratings (e.g
• ANSI grades) and photos of key blanks to CBP for verification
• Label shipments clearly as 'separate keys' to prevent bundling errors with 8301.70.00.20 safe deposit keys
• Watch for quotas or special tariffs on nickel-plated products from high-risk origins
