About machinery; parts of those machines used in the industrial preparation or manufacture of food or drink

hs code 843890 covers a wide range of machinery and equipment used in the industrial preparation and manufacture of food and drink products. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food and beverage supply chain, enabling the efficient and large-scale production of a diverse array of consumable goods. The machinery and parts classified under this code are essential for maintaining high levels of productivity, quality, and safety in food and drink manufacturing processes across various sectors, from dairy and meat processing to bakeries and breweries.

Production process

The machinery and equipment classified under hs code 843890 are used in a variety of food and drink production techniques. This can include mixing, blending, and kneading machines for the preparation of dough, batter, or other food ingredients; slicing, dicing, and shredding machines for the processing of fruits, vegetables, and meats; pasteurization and sterilization equipment for the treatment of liquids; and packaging machinery for the final stage of the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the machinery and equipment classified under hs code 843890 include various metal alloys, plastics, and other durable materials for the construction of the machines and their components. Additionally, these industries rely on a steady supply of electrical and mechanical parts, such as motors, gears, and control systems, to power and operate the machinery. The availability of skilled technicians and engineers to maintain and repair the equipment is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The machinery and equipment classified under hs code 843890 are used to produce a wide range of food and drink products, which are then consumed by end-users or further processed by other industries. Some of the key outputs of this industry include 040110 Milk and cream, not concentrated nor containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, 020110 Meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled, 190590 Bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits and other bakers' wares, and 220300 Beer made from malt. These outputs are then consumed by industries classified under codes such as 220 Beverages, spirits and vinegar and 210 Miscellaneous edible preparations.
