About iron (excluding cast) or steel; table, kitchen and other household articles and parts thereof, enamelled

HS code 732394 covers a diverse range of enamelled iron or steel household items, including tableware, kitchenware, and other domestic articles. This industry plays a vital role in the global consumer goods market, providing essential products for households worldwide. The production and trade of these goods are closely linked to broader economic trends, as consumer demand for durable, high-quality household items remains strong across both developed and developing markets.

Production process

The production of enamelled iron or steel household articles typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base metal components are formed through techniques such as stamping, pressing, or casting. The pieces are then thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the enamelling process, which involves the application of a vitreous enamel coating. This coating is fused to the metal surface through high-temperature firing, resulting in a durable, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing finish.

Production inputs

The key inputs for this industry include iron or steel raw materials, enamelling compounds, and specialized production equipment. Manufacturers may also require access to energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, to power the high-temperature enamelling process. Additionally, skilled labor is an important input, as the production of these goods often involves intricate design work and precise finishing techniques.
