Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The primary determinant is the material. Is it primarily copper, leather, metal alloy, plastic, or a combination?
• Functionality: While a key ring's primary function is to hold keys, consider if it has additional features (e.g., a built-in flashlight, bottle opener). This might influence classification.
• Detailed Description: Provide a more detailed description of the key ring (e.g., dimensions, weight, specific materials used) for a more accurate classification.
• Certification: Depending on the material and intended use, specific certifications might be required (e.g., RoHS for metal content).
• Tariff Changes: Be aware of the tariff changes scheduled for April 2, 2025, as the additional tariffs will increase from 25% to 30%.
• Customs Ruling: If there is uncertainty, consider obtaining a binding customs ruling from the relevant authorities to ensure correct classification and avoid potential issues during import/export.
