HS v2017 Code: 830110
About padlocks; (key, combination or electrically operated), of base metal
hs code 830110 covers the import and export of padlocks made of base metal, including those that are key-operated, combination-operated, or electrically operated. These padlocks are essential security devices used in a wide range of applications, from securing personal belongings to protecting commercial and industrial assets. As a fundamental component of the broader lock and hardware industry, the trade in padlocks plays a significant role in the global economy, facilitating the secure movement of goods and the protection of valuable resources.
Production process
The production of padlocks classified under hs code 830110 typically involves a series of metalworking processes. This may include stamping, casting, or machining the base metal components, such as the lock body, shackle, and locking mechanism. The assembly of these parts, along with the incorporation of any locking mechanisms, such as pin tumblers or combination dials, is a crucial step in the manufacturing process. Quality control measures, such as testing the durability and functionality of the finished padlocks, are also an important part of the production techniques used in this industry.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of padlocks under hs code 830110 include base metals, such as steel, brass, or aluminum, as well as various mechanical components like springs, pins, and locking mechanisms. Specialized machinery, such as metalworking tools and assembly equipment, are also essential inputs for this industry. Additionally, the production of these padlocks may require the use of lubricants, coatings, and other materials to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of the final product.
Production outputs
The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 830110 is the production of padlocks made of base metal, including those that are key-operated, combination-operated, or electrically operated. These padlocks are then consumed by a wide range of industries and applications, such as 830120 Locks of a kind used for furniture, doors, vehicles, etc., of base metal and 830190 Base metal parts of padlocks, locks, clasps and frames with clasps, incorporating locks, which may incorporate these padlocks into their own products or use them for security purposes.
