Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify padlock width exceeds 6.4 cm with precise measurements to avoid reclassification to narrower HTS codes

• Provide detailed construction diagrams confirming non-cylinder/pin tumbler design during customs declaration

• Label products clearly with material composition (e.g

• brass) to comply with base metal requirements and prevent undervaluation penalties
