Import Tips
• 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
