Valves; for oleohydraulic or pneumatic transmissions

hs code 848120 covers the import and export of valves used in oleohydraulic or pneumatic transmission systems. These valves play a critical role in the operation of hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, which are essential components in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, construction, and transportation. The global market for these valves is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for efficient and reliable power transmission systems.

Valves classified under hs code 848120 are typically manufactured using a combination of casting, machining, and assembly processes. The production process often begins with the casting of the valve body, which is then machined to precise specifications. The internal components, such as the valve stem, springs, and seals, are then assembled into the valve body, ensuring a tight and efficient seal. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer numerical control (CNC) machining and automated assembly, are commonly used to improve the quality and consistency of the final product.

The production of valves under hs code 848120 requires a range of raw materials, including metals such as steel, brass, and aluminum, as well as various sealing materials and lubricants. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as CNC lathes, milling machines, and assembly equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and cost of these inputs can have a significant impact on the overall competitiveness of the industry.

Valves classified under hs code 848120 are primarily used in the construction of 848110 Pumps; for liquids, whether or not fitted with a measuring device and 848130 Compressors; air or other gas, which are essential components in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. These valves help to regulate the flow and pressure of fluids and gases, ensuring the efficient and safe operation of the equipment they are used in. The outputs of this industry are also consumed by manufacturers of 842123 Machinery; for filtering or purifying gases, other than intake air filters for internal combustion engines and 842129 Machinery; for filtering or purifying liquids or gases, n.e.c. in 8421, among others.
