About cells and batteries; primary, (other than manganese dioxide, mercuric oxide, silver oxide, lithium or air-zinc)

HS code 850680 covers a wide range of primary cells and batteries, excluding those made from specific materials like manganese dioxide, mercuric oxide, silver oxide, lithium, or air-zinc. These batteries are essential components in numerous electronic devices, powering everything from remote controls and clocks to medical equipment and industrial machinery. They play a crucial role in the broader electronics and electrical equipment industries, enabling the functionality of a vast array of products that are integral to modern life and the global economy.

Production process

The production of primary cells and batteries covered under HS code 850680 typically involves several key steps. First, the active materials, such as zinc, carbon, and electrolytes, are prepared and combined. These materials are then assembled into the battery casing, which may be made of metals, plastics, or other materials. The batteries are then sealed and subjected to various quality control measures before being packaged and distributed for use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of primary cells and batteries under HS code 850680 include raw materials like zinc, carbon, electrolytes, and battery casings. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as assembly lines and testing machinery, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of handling the various production processes and ensuring the safety and quality of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary cells and batteries produced under HS code 850680 are used as power sources for a wide range of electronic devices and equipment. These batteries are often consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 851770 Electrical apparatus for line telephony or line telegraphy, 851762 Machines for the reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data, including switching and routing apparatus, and 851830 Headphones, earphones and combined microphone/speaker sets, among others. The versatility of these batteries makes them an essential component in the broader electronics and electrical equipment sectors.
