Cells and batteries; primary, manganese dioxide

HS v2017 Code: 850610

About cells and batteries; primary, manganese dioxide

hs code 850610 covers the import and export of primary cells and batteries containing manganese dioxide. These batteries are a critical component in a wide range of electronic devices, from remote controls and flashlights to medical equipment and industrial machinery. As the global demand for portable power continues to grow, the manganese dioxide battery industry plays a vital role in supporting the broader electronics and electrical equipment sectors.

Production process

The production of manganese dioxide batteries typically involves several key steps. First, the manganese dioxide active material is synthesized and processed into the desired form. This is then combined with other components such as the anode, cathode, and electrolyte to assemble the complete battery cell. Finally, the cells are packaged and tested to ensure they meet quality and safety standards before being distributed for use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the manganese dioxide battery industry include the raw materials for the active electrode material, such as manganese ore and various chemical compounds. Specialized manufacturing equipment, including battery assembly lines and testing apparatus, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production processes and ensuring product quality.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 850610 is manganese dioxide primary cells and batteries. These are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 851770 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles, 902830 Instruments and apparatus for physical or chemical analysis, and 940520 Lamps and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included. The batteries produced under this code are critical components that enable the functioning of many electronic devices and systems across the global economy.
