U.S. imports of padlocks of base metal (HS 830110) totaled $16.2M in April 2026, traded with 28 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBase metal padlocks are classified by body width and locking mechanism — cylinder or pin-tumbler versus other types — across eight 10-digit lines, with width breakpoints at 3.8 cm and 6.4 cm driving the primary splits. A dedicated line (8301106020) covers small cylinder/pin-tumbler locks packaged with a steel cable, a common retail configuration for bicycle and luggage security. China is the overwhelmingly dominant supplier, and these goods are subject to Section 301 tariffs; Mexico and Taiwan are secondary sources. Importers should note that certain high-security padlocks may also be subject to procurement or export-control considerations depending on end use.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The width of the padlock body is the primary physical criterion, with breakpoints at 3.8 cm and 6.4 cm. Additionally, whether the lock uses a cylinder or pin-tumbler mechanism versus another mechanism creates a parallel set of lines at each width tier. Importers should measure the widest point of the lock body and confirm the mechanism type before filing.
No — line 8301106020 specifically covers locks of 3.8 cm or less wide with a steel cable and a cylinder or pin-tumbler mechanism, treating the cable-and-lock combination as a single classifiable unit. Provided the cable is clearly an accessory to the lock rather than a standalone product, the set is classified together under this line.
