HS v2017 Code: 854099

About valves and tubes; parts of the valves and tubes of heading no. 8540, excluding parts of cathode-ray tubes

hs code 854099 covers a wide range of electronic components that are essential for the functioning of various electronic devices and systems. These valves and tubes are used in a variety of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment, and play a crucial role in the broader electronics industry. The production and trade of these components are significant contributors to the global economy.

Production process

The production of valves and tubes covered under hs code 854099 typically involves a multi-step manufacturing process. This includes the fabrication of the basic components, such as the cathode, anode, and control grid, followed by the assembly of the complete valve or tube structure. Advanced techniques like vacuum sealing and precise temperature control are often employed to ensure the proper functioning and reliability of these electronic components.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of valves and tubes under hs code 854099 include various metals, such as tungsten, molybdenum, and nickel, which are used to construct the internal components. Additionally, specialized glass or ceramic materials are used for the outer casing and sealing of the components. Sophisticated manufacturing equipment, including vacuum chambers and precision assembly tools, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by hs code 854099 are the valves and tubes themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries. These components are used in 852910 Television receivers, whether or not incorporating radio-broadcast receivers, video monitors and video projectors, 851762 Machines for the reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data, including switching and routing apparatus, and 851770 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8517 or 8525 to 8528, among others. The trade and distribution of these essential electronic components play a significant role in the global supply chain.
