Last updated: April 2026 dataPadlocks, key and combination locks, clasps with locking mechanisms, and their base-metal keys form a security hardware category with broad application across residential, commercial, and industrial markets. Classification precision matters here because the heading covers both the locking device and its dedicated keys when imported together or separately. Many locks and security hardware items sourced from China carry Section 301 tariff exposure, and importers should also verify whether any anti-dumping or countervailing duty orders apply to specific lock types.

When keys are imported with the locks they are designed to operate, they are generally classified with the lock as a set. Keys imported separately — as replacement or blank keys — may be classified under this same heading or a different provision depending on their form and intended use; a customs broker can advise on the correct treatment.
Beyond Section 301 tariffs that may apply to Chinese-origin locks, importers should check whether any antidumping or countervailing duty orders are in effect for specific lock types. The Commerce Department's ADD/CVD database is the authoritative source, and a licensed customs broker can help determine scope applicability.
