HS v2022 Code: 845121

About drying machines; of a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10kg

HS code 845121 covers the import and export of drying machines with a dry linen capacity of 10kg or less. This category of household appliances plays a crucial role in the textile and laundry industries, enabling efficient drying of fabrics and linens. As a key component of modern living, these compact drying machines are in high demand globally, contributing to international trade and economic activity.

Production process

Drying machines within this HS code are typically produced using a combination of automated manufacturing processes and manual assembly. The core components, such as the drum, heating element, and control systems, are mass-produced using advanced machinery. These components are then carefully assembled, often with the addition of specialized features like sensor-based drying cycles and energy-efficient technologies.

Production inputs

The production of drying machines under HS code 845121 requires a range of inputs, including metal alloys for the drum and housing, electrical components for the control systems, and high-quality fabrics for the drum lining. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery, such as welding equipment and assembly lines, to ensure consistent quality and efficient output. Additionally, the industry depends on a skilled workforce capable of operating and maintaining the production equipment.

Production outputs

Drying machines classified under HS code 845121 are primarily used in residential and commercial laundry settings. They are often paired with 845111 washing machines to form complete laundry solutions. The output of this industry is consumed by a wide range of end-users, including households, hotels, hospitals, and commercial laundry services. These drying machines play a crucial role in the textile and garment industries, supporting the efficient processing and preparation of fabrics for further use or distribution.
