8301.10.80.00 - Over 3.8 cm but not over 6.4 cm in width

This HTS category specifically covers padlocks of base metal that are of cylinder or pin tumbler construction and fall within a defined size range. These are common locking devices secured by a key or combination mechanism, designed for portability and application to hasps or enclosures. The base metal construction is a key defining characteristic, encompassing metals like brass, steel, or aluminum.

The critical distinction for classification within this node lies in the padlock's width. It differentiates from its sibling categories by encompassing only those padlocks measuring over 3.8 cm but not exceeding 6.4 cm in width. Padlocks with a width of 3.8 cm or less would be classified under 8301.10.60, while those exceeding 6.4 cm would be found in 8301.10.90.00.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories for this specific HTS code. Classification at this level is determined by the type of padlock (cylinder or pin tumbler construction), the material (base metal), and the precise measurement of its width. Examples of goods classified here would include standard brass padlocks used for securing luggage, toolboxes, or lockers, provided they meet the specified dimensional criteria.
