How to apply for TSA certification for padlocks

1. TSA is the abbreviation of U.S. Transportation Security Administration, which means U.S. Transportation Security Administration.

2. Explanation of TSA certification

(1) Since January 2003, TSA has stipulated that all luggage entering U.S. airports must be opened for inspection. At the same time, TSA issued a warning: Unless TSA-certified locks are used, the checked luggage should either not be locked or the customs has the right to pry. Open the baggage lock that was destroyed and checked.

(2) There are two ways to open the TSA lock: one is the key of the lock itself or the password set by the consumer, and the other is the key dedicated to the customs. The customs has a TSA unlocking key.

(3) There must be a red diamond-shaped mark on both sides of this lock. As long as the customs sees that mark, they know that they need to use the key to open the lock (the corresponding key number is indicated on the bottom of the lock), and it will not be broken.

(4) TSA strictly trains customs inspectors to be very careful to ensure safety when opening baggage inspection, and lock the baggage again after inspection.

(5) TSA locks can also be used outside the United States.

For example: TSA code lock produced by PELICAN manufacturer in the United States. You can see the red diamond-shaped signs on the front and back. With this lock, you can avoid the possibility of damage by local airport security personnel when you want to lock it when traveling abroad.　TSA is the abbreviation of U.S. Transportation Security Administration, which means U.S. Transportation Security Administration.
