Electrical apparatus; fuses, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts

HS v2017 Code: 853610

About electrical apparatus; fuses, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts

hs code 853610 covers a critical component of electrical infrastructure - fuses. These devices play a vital role in protecting electrical circuits and equipment from damage due to overcurrent or short circuits. The fuse industry is an integral part of the broader electrical and electronics sector, which is a key driver of economic growth and technological advancement across numerous industries.

Production process

The production of fuses covered under hs code 853610 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the fuse element, often made of a metal alloy, is precisely cut and shaped. This element is then encased within a protective housing, which may be constructed from materials such as ceramic, glass, or plastic. The assembly is then fitted with terminals or connectors to allow integration into the electrical circuit. Quality control and testing are critical steps to ensure the fuses meet safety and performance standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 853610 fuses include the raw materials for the fuse element, such as copper, silver, or tin-lead alloys, as well as the housing materials like ceramic, glass, or plastic. Specialized machinery for cutting, shaping, and assembling the fuse components is also a key input. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor to operate the production equipment and perform quality control measures.

Production outputs

The primary output of the hs code 853610 industry is electrical fuses, which are used to protect electrical circuits and equipment from overcurrent or short circuit conditions. These fuses are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 853610 Electrical apparatus; fuses, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts, 853690 Electrical apparatus; for switching or protecting electrical circuits, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts, and 853710 Electrical apparatus; control or distribution boards, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts, among others.
