Does this apply to your product?

It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:

  • Is it a portable, lockable security box?
  • Is the body made of rigid molded plastic?
  • Is it made to keep small personal valuables such as a phone, keys, cash or jewelry safe?

A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
