HS v2017 Code: 852329

About magnetic media; other than cards incorporating a magnetic stripe, whether or not recorded, excluding products of chapter 37

hs code 852329 covers a wide range of magnetic media products, excluding those that incorporate a magnetic stripe, as well as products of Chapter 37. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader electronics and data storage sectors, providing essential components for various applications, from consumer electronics to industrial and commercial systems. The global magnetic media market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for data storage and the proliferation of digital technologies.

Production process

The production of magnetic media covered under hs code 852329 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base material, often a polymer or metal, is coated with a magnetic layer, which can be made from various compounds, such as iron oxide or chromium dioxide. The coated material is then cut and shaped into the desired form, such as tapes, discs, or reels. Depending on the specific product, additional processing steps may be required, such as the application of protective layers or the integration of electronic components.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of magnetic media under hs code 852329 include the base materials (polymers, metals), magnetic compounds, and specialized machinery for coating, cutting, and shaping the products. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced research and development to continuously improve the performance and storage capacity of these products. Key machinery and equipment used in this industry include coating machines, slitting and cutting machines, and testing and quality control equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by hs code 852329 are various types of magnetic media, such as audio and video tapes, computer data tapes, and magnetic discs. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 852351 Magnetic tape storage devices, 852352 Magnetic disc storage devices, and 852380 Other magnetic media, as well as the broader electronics and information technology sectors.
