Questions
HS code 830170: common questions
What is HS code 830170?
HS code 830170 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Padlocks and locks (key, combination or electrically operated), of base metal; clasps and frames with clasps, incorporating locks, of base metal; keys for any of the foregoing articles, of base metal : Keys presented separately". The first two digits (83) are the chapter — Miscellaneous articles of base metal — and digits 3-4 (8301) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 830170?
Common products classified under 830170 include spare key, duplicate key, key blank and similar items matching keys presented separately. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 830170?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 830170 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (830170) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
