HS v2017 Code: 3603
About safety fuses; detonating fuses; percussion or detonating caps; igniters; electric detonators
HS code 3603 covers a range of explosive and ignition-related products that are essential for various industries, including construction, mining, and military applications. These items play a crucial role in controlled explosions, demolition, and the safe detonation of explosives. The global trade in these specialized products is significant, with countries importing and exporting these goods to meet the demands of their respective industries.
Production process
The production of the items covered under HS code 3603 typically involves the careful assembly and packaging of explosive materials, such as gunpowder or other propellants, with various ignition mechanisms. This process requires strict safety protocols and specialized equipment to ensure the safe handling and transportation of these potentially hazardous materials.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of HS code 3603 items include raw materials such as 2844 Radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes, 2845 Isotopes other than those of heading 2844, and various 3601 Propellent powders. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, as well as skilled labor, are essential for the manufacturing of these products.
Production outputs
The outputs of HS code 3603 are primarily used in the construction, mining, and military industries. The safety fuses, detonating fuses, and electric detonators are often consumed by 2710 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils and 2844 Radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes industries, among others.
