Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify the padlock width does not exceed 3.8 cm using calipers and document measurements for customs

• Confirm non-cylinder/pin tumbler construction via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification

• Label as 'base metal padlock' and include country of origin; watch for anti-dumping duties on certain brass imports
