Last updated: August 2026 dataClasps and frames that incorporate a locking mechanism — used on handbags, briefcases, luggage, jewelry boxes, and similar articles — are classified as a distinct product type rather than as parts of the finished goods they secure. All imports enter under a single 10-digit line (8301500000). Mexico leads supply, with China and Israel also among the top sources; Israel's presence reflects its established precision metalwork and accessories manufacturing sector serving the fashion and luxury goods industries. These components are often subject to scrutiny on country-of-origin grounds when the finished article and the clasp are produced in different countries.

50 import shipments a month
When imported as a standalone component, the locking clasp or frame is classified under 8301500000. When it arrives already incorporated into a finished handbag, the finished article's own HTS heading governs — typically Chapter 42 for leather or textile bags — and the clasp is not separately classified. Importers should ensure that component shipments are invoiced and declared separately from finished goods to avoid misclassification.
Each clasp or frame must be marked with its country of origin unless it qualifies for an exception (e.g., it will be substantially transformed in the US before sale to an ultimate purchaser). If the clasp is incorporated into a finished article domestically, the finished article's origin marking rules apply to the end product, but the imported component itself must still be marked at the time of importation unless CBP grants a J-list or similar exception.
