Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 8301 covers padlocks, locks, clasps and frames with locks, keys, and parts of these articles, of base metal. The classification includes subcategories for padlocks (8301.10), motor vehicle locks (8301.20), furniture locks (8301.30), other locks (8301.40), clasps/frames with locks (8301.50), parts (8301.60), and keys (8301.70). This security hardware category includes mechanical devices for access control and property protection. Products range from simple padlocks to sophisticated multi-point locking systems. Manufacturing processes include casting, stamping, machining, assembly, and surface finishing operations. Technical specifications focus on security level, durability through operational cycles, corrosion resistance, and key control systems. Some items incorporate electronic components while maintaining a primarily mechanical operation principle. This division represents security-oriented hardware providing physical access control across applications from simple storage containers to buildings and vehicles, with varying levels of security based on design complexity, material strength, and resistance to manipulation.
