HS v2017 Code: 851821

About loudspeakers; single, mounted in their enclosures

hs code 851821 covers the import and export of single loudspeakers mounted in their enclosures. This is a crucial component in the audio equipment industry, enabling the production of high-quality sound systems for a wide range of applications, from home entertainment to professional sound reinforcement. The global market for loudspeakers is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for advanced audio technology in consumer electronics, automotive, and commercial sectors.

Production process

The production of loudspeakers covered under hs code 851821 typically involves several key steps. First, the speaker driver, which is the core component responsible for converting electrical signals into sound waves, is manufactured. This involves the precise assembly of the voice coil, magnet, and diaphragm. The speaker driver is then mounted into an enclosure, which is designed to optimize the acoustic properties and protect the internal components. The enclosure may be made from various materials, such as wood, plastic, or metal, depending on the desired performance and aesthetic characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of loudspeakers under hs code 851821 include raw materials such as magnets, voice coil wire, diaphragm materials, and enclosure materials. Specialized machinery, such as winding machines, assembly lines, and testing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is necessary to ensure the quality and reliability of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 851821 is single loudspeakers mounted in their enclosures, which are used in a wide range of audio equipment, including 851810 Microphones and stands thereof, 851830 Headphones, earphones and combined microphone/speaker sets, and 851840 Audio-frequency electric amplifiers. These loudspeakers are essential components in the production of high-quality sound systems, enabling the accurate reproduction of audio signals in various applications, from home entertainment to professional sound reinforcement.
