About magnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetisation, of metal

hs code 850511 covers the trade and production of permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization, made of metal. These magnets play a crucial role in a wide range of industries, from electronics and automotive to industrial machinery and renewable energy technologies. As the global demand for advanced magnetic materials continues to grow, the 850511 industry has become an integral part of the broader economy, supporting innovation and technological progress across multiple sectors.

Production process

The production of permanent magnets classified under hs code 850511 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as iron, neodymium, or samarium, are melted and alloyed to create the desired magnetic properties. The molten alloy is then cast into ingots or powders, which are subsequently pressed and sintered to form the permanent magnet material. Finally, the magnets are magnetized, shaped, and coated or treated to enhance their durability and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of hs code 850511 permanent magnets include rare earth metals (such as neodymium and samarium), ferrous metals (like iron and cobalt), and specialized machinery for melting, casting, pressing, and magnetizing the materials. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing techniques, specialized knowledge, and skilled labor to ensure the consistent quality and performance of the final products.

Production outputs

The permanent magnets classified under hs code 850511 are used in a wide range of applications, including 851140 Electric motors, 851180 Other electric motors and generators, 851220 Loudspeakers, and 851230 Headphones, earphones and combined microphone/speaker sets. These magnets are also essential components in 902780 Other instruments and appliances for medical, surgical or veterinary sciences, 940510 Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, and various renewable energy technologies, such as wind turbines and electric vehicles.
