Frequently Asked Questions
What are the specific anti-dumping duties or trade measures on door locks and deadbolts (HTS 8301.40) imported into the United States from China?
The United States currently maintains anti-dumping duties on certain locksets and parts from China under order A-570-901. Imports of door locks and deadbolts classified under HTS 8301.40.0000 must be accompanied by a cash deposit at the applicable rate, which is determined by the specific Chinese manufacturer and can be found through the US Department of Commerce's AD/CVD order listings. It is critical to verify the exact rate for your supplier, as failure to comply will result in customs delays and financial penalties.
How does the specific base metal composition of a door lock or deadbolt affect its classification under HTS 8301.40?
Classification under 8301.40 requires the lock's essential character to be of base metal, such as steel, zinc, or aluminum alloys. If a lock has significant parts of precious metal (e.g., silver overlay), it may shift to heading 7114, and if predominantly of plastic, it could be classified under 3926. The classification is based on the material that gives the article its essential character.
Alternative Classification for Door Locks
Handles, knobs, and key-operated mechanisms for furniture or motor vehicles are not classified under 8301.40. These are found in other chapters. For example, base metal locks for furniture fall under HTS 8301.30, while locks for motor vehicles are typically found in HTS 8301.20. It is critical to distinguish the intended application, as automotive parts are often subject to different duties and regulations.
