HS v2022 Code: 844319

About printing machinery; used for printing by means of plates, cylinders and other printing components of heading 84.42, n.e.c. in item no. 8443.1

HS code 844319 covers a wide range of printing machinery used in the commercial and industrial printing industry. These machines play a crucial role in the production of various printed materials, from newspapers and magazines to packaging and promotional items. The printing industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, with the demand for high-quality, customized printed products continuously growing across sectors.

Production process

Printing machinery under HS code 844319 utilizes a variety of production techniques, including offset printing, flexographic printing, and digital printing. These methods involve the use of printing plates, cylinders, and other components to transfer ink or toner onto the desired substrate, such as paper, plastic, or metal. The specific production techniques employed depend on the type of printing machinery and the desired output.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of printing machinery under HS code 844319 include metal components, electronic parts, and specialized software. Manufacturers also rely on skilled technicians and engineers to design, assemble, and maintain these complex machines. Additionally, the industry requires a steady supply of consumables, such as inks, toners, and printing plates, to ensure the smooth operation of the machinery.

Production outputs

The primary output of the printing machinery industry covered by HS code 844319 is the production of high-quality printed materials. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 4901 Printed books, brochures, leaflets and similar printed matter, 4902 Newspapers, journals and periodicals, whether or not illustrated or containing advertising material, and 4903 Children's picture, drawing or colouring books. The printing machinery industry also supports the production of packaging, labels, and other specialized printed products.
