About weighing machines; other than personal, conveyor or constant weight scales, having a maximum weighing capacity not exceeding 30kg (excluding balances of a sensitivity of 5cg or better)

HS code 842381 covers a range of weighing machines, excluding personal, conveyor, or constant weight scales, with a maximum weighing capacity not exceeding 30kg. These weighing machines are essential tools in various industries, from retail and logistics to manufacturing and agriculture. They play a crucial role in ensuring accurate measurements, enabling efficient inventory management, and supporting quality control processes.

Production process

Weighing machines within the 842381 classification are typically produced using a combination of mechanical and electronic components. The core mechanism involves a load-bearing platform or pan connected to a series of levers and linkages that translate the weight into a measurable signal. This signal is then processed by electronic circuitry to display the weight reading. Manufacturers may employ precision engineering techniques, such as tight tolerances and calibration procedures, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of these weighing machines.

Production inputs

The production of weighing machines under HS code 842381 requires a range of inputs, including metal alloys for the structural components, electronic components for the measurement and display systems, and specialized software for calibration and programming. Manufacturers may also rely on precision machining equipment, such as lathes and milling machines, to fabricate the mechanical parts. Additionally, the industry may utilize testing and quality assurance equipment to ensure the performance and durability of the final products.

Production outputs

Weighing machines classified under HS code 842381 are primarily used in various industries, including 851711 Retail trade, 492 Transportation and storage, 101 Manufacture of food products, and 103 Manufacture of beverages. These weighing machines are essential for tasks such as inventory management, quality control, and compliance with regulatory requirements. The output of this industry may also be consumed by other 842 Machinery and mechanical appliances manufacturers who incorporate these weighing machines into their own products.
