Electrical energy

HS v2022 Code: 2716

About electrical energy

HS code 2716 covers the classification of electrical energy, a critical component of modern infrastructure and economic activity. Electrical energy is the lifeblood of industries ranging from manufacturing to information technology, powering everything from factories to households. As a fundamental input to a wide array of economic sectors, the production and distribution of electrical energy plays a vital role in supporting global trade and commerce.

Production process

Electrical energy is primarily generated through the conversion of other forms of energy, such as fossil fuels, nuclear power, hydropower, solar, wind, and geothermal sources. The key production techniques involve the use of generators, turbines, and other specialized equipment to harness these energy sources and convert them into usable electrical energy. The generated electricity is then transmitted and distributed through complex networks of power lines, transformers, and substations to end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electrical energy include raw materials such as coal, natural gas, uranium, and other fuels, as well as the necessary infrastructure and equipment, such as power plants, generators, and transmission lines. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and operators to manage the production and distribution processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 2716 is electrical energy, which is then consumed by a wide range of industries and end-users, including 2710 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils, 8501 (Electric motors and generators (excluding generating sets)), and 8504 (Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors).
