HS v2017 Code: 6909

About ceramic ware for laboratory, chemical, other technical uses; ceramic troughs, tubs, similar receptacles used in agriculture; ceramic pots, jars and similar used in the conveyance or packing of goods

HS code 6909 covers a diverse range of ceramic products used for specialized technical and industrial applications. These ceramics are valued for their durability, chemical resistance, and thermal properties, making them essential in various sectors such as scientific research, chemical processing, and agricultural operations. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader economy by providing critical components and containers for a wide array of industries.

Production process

The production of ceramic ware under HS code 6909 typically involves a multi-step process. Raw materials, including clay, feldspar, and other mineral additives, are carefully selected and mixed to achieve the desired properties. The mixture is then shaped using techniques such as pressing, extrusion, or slip casting, depending on the specific product. After shaping, the ceramic pieces undergo a drying process to remove moisture, followed by high-temperature firing in a kiln to fuse the materials and impart the desired strength and chemical resistance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 6909 ceramic ware include high-quality clay, feldspar, and other mineral additives. Specialized equipment, such as mixing machines, molding tools, and high-temperature kilns, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor with expertise in ceramic production techniques is necessary to ensure consistent quality and meet the demanding specifications of this industry.

Production outputs

The ceramic ware produced under HS code 6909 is primarily used in laboratory, chemical, and other technical applications, where its unique properties are highly valued. These products include beakers, crucibles, retorts, and other specialized containers and equipment. The output of this industry may also be consumed by the 8424 Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers, spray guns and similar appliances; steam or sand blasting machines and similar jet projecting machines and 8479 Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this Chapter industries, which utilize these ceramic components in their own manufacturing processes.
