Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 830300 when importing or exporting armoured or reinforced safes, strong-boxes, and similar secure storage items made of base metal. For instance, a shipment of a heavy-duty safe designed for cash storage falls under this code.

This code specifically covers products like strong-boxes and safe deposit lockers intended for securing valuables. If you're dealing with a simple metal box without security features, you might need a different code, such as HS-6 8302, which covers locks and padlocks.
