Heaters; electric, instantaneous or storage water and immersion heaters

HS v2017 Code: 851610

About heaters; electric, instantaneous or storage water and immersion heaters

hs code 851610 covers a range of electric heaters, including instantaneous and storage water heaters, as well as immersion heaters. These products play a crucial role in providing hot water and heating solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. As a key component of modern infrastructure and daily life, the 851610 industry is an important contributor to the broader economy, supporting various downstream sectors and meeting the growing demand for efficient and reliable heating systems.

Production process

The production of electric heaters under hs code 851610 typically involves a combination of manufacturing processes. This includes the assembly of heating elements, thermostats, and other electronic components, as well as the fabrication of the outer casing and housing. Automated assembly lines and specialized machinery are often employed to ensure consistent quality and high-volume output. Advanced technologies, such as computer-controlled processes and robotic automation, are increasingly being adopted to enhance efficiency and precision in the manufacturing of these heating appliances.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 851610 industry include various raw materials such as metals (e.g., steel, copper, aluminum), plastics, and electronic components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, microcontrollers). Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, tools, and equipment for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential inputs for the operation of these electric heaters during both the production and end-use stages.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 851610 industry are electric heaters, including instantaneous water heaters, storage water heaters, and immersion heaters. These products are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings for hot water generation and space heating. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by a range of other hs codes, such as 851629 Electrothermic appliances, other, 851680 Electric heating resistors, and 732111 Central heating boilers, as these heating solutions are often integrated into larger systems or used in conjunction with other appliances and equipment.
