Insulated electric conductors; winding wire, (of other than copper)

HS v2017 Code: 854419

About insulated electric conductors; winding wire, (of other than copper)

hs code 854419 covers a critical component of the electrical and electronics industry - insulated electric conductors and winding wire made from materials other than copper. These products are essential for the manufacturing of a wide range of electrical and electronic devices, from household appliances to industrial machinery. The demand for these insulated conductors is closely tied to the growth and development of the broader electronics and electrical equipment sectors, making this a significant industry within the global economy.

Production process

The production of insulated electric conductors and winding wire (other than copper) typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base material, such as aluminum, silver, or other non-copper metals, is drawn into thin wires or strips. These are then coated with an insulating material, often a polymer or enamel, to provide the necessary electrical isolation. The insulated wires may then be twisted, braided, or wound into the desired configuration, depending on the specific application. Advanced techniques, such as extrusion or co-extrusion, may be employed to ensure consistent quality and performance of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of insulated electric conductors and winding wire (other than copper) include the base metal materials, such as aluminum, silver, or other non-copper alloys, as well as the insulating materials, such as polymers, enamels, or other dielectric coatings. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as wire-drawing machines, insulation extruders, and winding/braiding machines, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and cost of these raw materials and production equipment can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of hs code 854419 are insulated electric conductors and winding wire made from materials other than copper. These products are widely used in the manufacturing of a variety of electrical and electronic devices, including 851610 Electrical transformers, 851650 Microphones, loudspeakers, headphones, earphones and combined microphone/speaker sets, 851762 Machines for the reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data, including switching and routing apparatus, and 854430 Insulated electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, fitted with connectors. The demand for these insulated conductors is driven by the continuous growth and innovation in the electronics and electrical equipment sectors.
