HS v2022 Code: 360690

About ferro-cerium and other pyrophoric alloys in all forms; articles of combustible materials n.e.c. in chapter 36

HS code 360690 covers a diverse range of pyrophoric alloys and combustible materials not elsewhere classified in chapter 36 of the Harmonized System. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, from lighters and matches to specialized applications in the chemical, automotive, and aerospace sectors. Understanding the production, inputs, and outputs of this HS code is essential for businesses engaged in the import, export, or manufacturing of these specialized products.

Production process

The production of ferro-cerium and other pyrophoric alloys typically involves the combination of various metallic elements, such as cerium, iron, and other rare earth metals. These alloys are often produced through high-temperature smelting and casting processes, which require specialized equipment and expertise. The manufacturing of articles of combustible materials, on the other hand, may involve the assembly of components, the application of coatings or treatments, and the packaging of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of ferro-cerium and other pyrophoric alloys include raw materials such as cerium, iron, and other rare earth metals. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as smelting furnaces and casting equipment, are necessary for the manufacturing process. For the production of articles of combustible materials, the key inputs may include various types of flammable materials, adhesives, and packaging components.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 360690 include a wide range of products, such as 360610 Ferro-cerium and other pyrophoric alloys in all forms, 360690 Articles of combustible materials n.e.c. in chapter 36, and other specialized pyrophoric materials. These outputs may be consumed by various industries, including 950720 Fishing rods, fish-hooks and other line fishing tackle, 950790 Other articles for funfair, table or parlour games, and 950890 Other articles for funfair, table or parlour games n.e.c. in heading 9508.
