What is a customs lock?

"Customs lock", commonly known as "customs lock", also known as "TSA authentication lock", refers to the general TSA special key used by international customs to ensure the safety of goods during transportation when conducting security inspection on luggage and goods under customs supervision.

It should be noted that China Customs does not have a special key, that is, China Customs will not open the suitcase without the permission of the parties concerned.

The boxes used abroad generally need TSA customs lock, because the customs will open your suitcase for inspection. If there is no TSA customs lock, the customs can't open the suitcase with TSA customs special universal lock, then the suitcase will be forced to open the lock on your suitcase by the customs inspector. Therefore, either the customs lock is used, or it is pried open by the customs inspector to destroy the checked baggage lock.
