About mechanical appliances; parts of machines projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders, whether or not hand-operated

HS code 842490 covers a diverse range of mechanical appliances used for projecting, dispersing, or spraying liquids and powders. These versatile machines play a crucial role in various industries, from agriculture and construction to manufacturing and cleaning. Their ability to efficiently distribute fluids and granular materials makes them indispensable for tasks such as pesticide application, surface coating, and industrial cleaning, contributing significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of mechanical appliances under HS code 842490 typically involves a combination of metalworking, precision engineering, and assembly techniques. Manufacturers often start with the fabrication of the core components, such as the nozzles, pumps, and control mechanisms, using processes like stamping, casting, and machining. These parts are then carefully assembled, with a focus on ensuring proper functionality, durability, and safety. Advanced technologies, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, are often employed to enhance the precision and efficiency of the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The production of mechanical appliances under HS code 842490 requires a range of inputs, including 720810 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated for the fabrication of the main structural components, 840999 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines of heading 8407 or 8408 for the power sources, and specialized materials such as 392010 Other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials for the construction of the nozzles and other precision parts. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of tools, machinery, and testing equipment to ensure the quality and performance of the final products.

Production outputs

Mechanical appliances covered under HS code 842490 are used in a wide range of applications, including 842430 Spraying appliances for agricultural or horticultural use for crop protection, 842440 Spraying appliances for agricultural or horticultural use; portable for handheld spraying tasks, and 842450 Other appliances for industrial cleaning, surface coating, and other specialized uses. These mechanical appliances are essential components in the production and maintenance of various goods, contributing to the efficiency and effectiveness of numerous industries.
