About washing machines; household or laundry-type, with built-in centrifugal drier, (not fully-automatic), of a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10kg

HS code 845012 covers household or laundry-type washing machines with built-in centrifugal dryers, excluding fully-automatic models. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader home appliance sector, catering to the essential needs of households and businesses worldwide. As consumer demand for efficient and convenient laundry solutions continues to grow, the 845012 industry remains a significant contributor to the global economy.

Production process

The production of washing machines under HS code 845012 typically involves a multi-step process. Key stages include the fabrication of the machine's outer casing, the assembly of the internal components (such as the drum, motor, and control systems), the installation of the centrifugal dryer mechanism, and the final testing and quality control procedures. Manufacturers often utilize advanced automation and robotics to streamline the production process and ensure consistent product quality.

Production inputs

The 845012 industry relies on a variety of raw materials and components, including metal alloys for the casing, high-efficiency electric motors, electronic control systems, and specialized centrifugal drying mechanisms. Additionally, manufacturers may require access to advanced manufacturing equipment, such as injection molding machines, welding tools, and precision assembly lines. The availability and cost-effectiveness of these inputs can significantly impact the industry's overall competitiveness.

Production outputs

Washing machines classified under HS code 845012 are primarily consumed by households and commercial laundry facilities. These products are often used in conjunction with other home appliances, such as 845011 Washing machines; household or laundry-type, fully-automatic and 845019 (Washing machines; household or laundry-type, (not fully-automatic), of a dry linen capacity exceeding 10kg). The output of the 845012 industry can also be utilized by the 847989 Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter industry, which may incorporate these washing machines into larger integrated systems.
