Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 830130 when importing or exporting locks specifically designed for furniture, such as those found on cabinets or desks. For instance, a shipment of metal locks for wooden office desks falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 830140, which covers locks for vehicles. While both involve locks, the end-use and design differ significantly, with 830130 focusing on furniture applications.
In this context, 830130 includes key-operated, combination, or electrically operated locks made of base metal. These locks are essential for securing furniture and can vary in complexity and design.
When classifying your product, consider whether it is a simple key lock for a drawer or a more advanced combination lock for a filing cabinet. Both would be classified under this HS-6 line.
