Frequently asked questions
I produce locks, padlocks, and hinges — is that ATECO code 25.62.00 or general hardware?
I manufacture electronic locks with circuit boards and motors — do I stay under 25.62.00 or does the code change?
Usually 25.62.00 if the product is a lock, even one with built-in electronic components. If instead you build fully-fledged alarm and burglar alarm systems, the code is 26.51.21.
I produce hinges, handles, and hardware for furniture and vehicles — does that fall under 25.62.00 or miscellaneous metal articles?
Yes, 25.62.00. Locking and movement hardware — including hinges and fittings for buildings, furniture, and vehicles — is precisely this code. Small buckles, hooks, and clasps that serve neither a locking nor a movement function are instead classified under 25.99.90.
I make complete locks and also bare cylinders and key blanks — does everything go under 25.62.00?
Yes, padlocks, locks, cylinders, and keys all fall together under 25.62.00. However, when the metal piece you produce neither locks nor actuates anything — such as miscellaneous hooks or clasps — refer to 25.99.90.
