What products are classified under HSN 8301

It includes Padlocks, clasps, base metal keys

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Padlocks, clasps, base metal keys?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Padlocks, clasps, base metal keys are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
