8301.10.50.00 - Over 6.4 cm in width

This HTS category, HTS Code 8301.10.50.00, specifically classifies padlocks of base metal that are not of cylinder or pin tumbler construction and measure over 6.4 cm in width. These are typically larger or heavier-duty padlocks intended for applications requiring more substantial security. The base metal construction is a key defining characteristic, encompassing materials like iron, steel, aluminum, brass, and other non-precious metals.

This classification distinguishes these padlocks from their siblings based on size. HTS 8301.10.20.00 covers padlocks not over 3.8 cm in width, while HTS 8301.10.40.00 encompasses those over 3.8 cm but not over 6.4 cm. Therefore, the defining criterion here is the precise measurement exceeding 6.4 cm, indicating a larger physical dimension than the other sibling categories.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive, solely relying on the criteria of being a base metal padlock, not of cylinder or pin tumbler construction, and exceeding the specified width of 6.4 cm. Examples might include large industrial padlocks, heavy-duty security padlocks for gates or large storage units, or other similarly sized locking mechanisms that meet all these conditions.
