HS v2017 Code: 847529

About machines; for manufacturing or hot working glass or glassware, not for making optical fibres and preforms thereof

hs code 847529 covers a critical segment of the glass manufacturing industry, encompassing machines used for the production and hot-working of various glass products. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, supplying essential components and materials for a wide range of applications, from construction and automotive to consumer goods and electronics.

Production process

The machines classified under hs code 847529 utilize a variety of techniques to manufacture or hot-work glass and glassware. This can include processes such as blowing, pressing, molding, and annealing, which shape the glass into the desired forms and ensure the necessary structural integrity and quality. These machines are designed to handle the unique properties and challenges of working with glass, such as its high melting point and susceptibility to thermal stress.

Production inputs

The production of glass manufacturing machines (hs code 847529) requires a range of inputs, including specialized metal alloys for the machine components, high-temperature-resistant materials for the furnaces and molds, and advanced control systems to precisely regulate the temperature and other parameters. Additionally, these machines often require skilled operators and technicians to ensure optimal performance and product quality.

Production outputs

The machines classified under hs code 847529 are used to produce a wide variety of glass products, including containers, tableware, windows, and specialty items. The output of these machines may be consumed by other industries, such as 701320 Glass containers, 701331 Glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar purposes, and 700521 Float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, but not otherwise worked.
