HS v2022 Code: 6814

About mica; worked, articles of, including agglomerated or reconstituted mica; whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials

HS code 6814 covers a diverse range of products made from mica, a naturally occurring mineral with unique electrical and thermal properties. Mica is an essential material in various industries, including electronics, construction, and automotive. The products classified under this code play a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential components and materials for a wide array of applications.

Production process

The production of mica-based products typically involves several key steps. Mica is first extracted from mines, then processed to remove impurities and sorted by size and quality. The mica is then either used directly in its natural form or further processed into agglomerated or reconstituted mica. This may involve binding the mica with various resins or other materials to create sheets, plates, or other shaped articles. The final products can be used on their own or as components in larger assemblies, often supported by paper, paperboard, or other materials.

Production inputs

The primary input for this industry is, of course, mica itself. High-quality mica deposits are found in various regions around the world, and the mining and processing of mica are essential to meet the global demand. In addition to the raw mica, the industry also requires various binders, resins, and supporting materials, such as paper and paperboard, to create the final mica-based products. Specialized machinery and equipment for mica processing and fabrication are also crucial inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The products classified under HS code 6814 are used in a wide range of applications, including electrical and electronic equipment, thermal and acoustic insulation, and decorative or protective coatings. The mica-based materials produced under this code may be further consumed by industries such as 8501 Electric motors and generators, 8504 Electrical transformers, static converters and inductors, and 8541 (Diodes, transistors and similar semiconductor devices; photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED); mounted piezo-electric crystals).
