About Shoptreed - Keychains/Lanyards Supplier in India

Shoptreed is based in India and currently lists nine active products on the platform. The catalogue comprises decorative timepieces such as a Vintage Table Top World Time Clock, a Vintage Solid Wood Chiming Mantel Clock, a Decorative Table Top Desk Clock, and a Nickel Plated Aluminium Steel Table Clock. In addition, the supplier offers a series of nautical‑themed metal keychains, including Ship Anchor Keychain‑brass Metal, Brass Ship Anchor Keychain, Nautical Brass Captains Ship Wheel Keychain, Nautical Brass Anchor Keychain, and Nautical Brass Shoe Keychain, all described as brass or nickel‑plated aluminium steel.

The product range falls under the platform’s top categories of Keychains/Lanyards and Agriculture, although the listed items are primarily promotional accessories and decorative clocks. Each item is identified without an HS code in the catalogue, placing them in common tariff headings such as HS 9105 for clocks and HS 8305 for metal keychains. Shoptreed’s trust tier is classified as “harbor”, indicating a moderate level of verification.

Product Range and Specialties of Shoptreed

The clock line includes tabletop and mantel models that typically use quartz movements, wooden or metal housings, and optional chiming mechanisms. In the global market, such clocks are classified under HS chapter 91 (clocks and watches) and are often supplied in packaging of one unit per carton, with dimensions suited for 20‑ft containers. Nautical keychains are generally cast or stamped brass, sometimes nickel‑plated, and belong to HS chapter 83 (articles of base metal). Buyers usually expect material certification such as ASTM B16 for brass and plating thickness specifications of 0.5 - 1 µm for nickel finishes.

Trade and Export Information - Shoptreed

India is a major exporter of decorative metal accessories and small household items. Export flows for brass keychains and decorative clocks commonly target the United States, European Union, and Gulf Cooperation Council markets, where retailers and promotional‑product distributors source such goods. The relevant HS code families are 9105 for clocks and 8305 for metal keychains, which are subject to standard customs valuation and may require a certificate of origin under the India‑U.S. Generalized System of Preferences.

Importers typically request compliance with CE marking for electronic clock mechanisms and RoHS for metal components to limit hazardous substances. Shipping is frequently arranged on a FOB basis from major Indian ports such as Mumbai or Nhava Sheva, with container loads of up to 1,200 kg for keychains or 800 kg for clock units, depending on packaging. Buyers should verify that the supplier can provide any required phytosanitary or agricultural certificates only if agricultural items are involved, though the current catalogue does not list agricultural products.

Sourcing from Shoptreed - Buyer Guidance

When sourcing the clocks, buyers should request the movement type (quartz or mechanical), voltage rating, dimensions, weight, and a sample of the wood finish or metal coating. Test reports for timing accuracy (e.g., ISO 3159) and plating thickness are standard documents to ask for. For the brass keychains, request an assay report confirming copper and zinc percentages, as well as a plating thickness measurement if nickel‑plated.

It is advisable to obtain a photo‑sample and a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the metal alloy. Verify the supplier’s ability to meet typical minimum order quantities of 500 units per keychain design and 200 units per clock model, and confirm lead times of 25‑35 days for production after artwork approval. Clarify the preferred Incoterm (FOB or CIF) and packaging details, such as poly‑bagging and cardboard cartons suitable for container loading.
