HS v2022 Code: 851821

About loudspeakers; single, mounted in their enclosures

HS code 851821 covers the import and export of single loudspeakers mounted in their enclosures. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader electronics and audio equipment sector, providing essential components for a wide range of consumer and professional audio products. As the demand for high-quality sound systems continues to grow, the global trade in these specialized loudspeakers has become increasingly important, supporting various industries and contributing to the overall economy.

Production process

The production of single loudspeakers mounted in their enclosures typically involves a multi-step process. First, the speaker driver, which includes the magnet, voice coil, and diaphragm, is manufactured. This component is then carefully assembled into a protective enclosure, often made of wood, plastic, or other durable materials. The enclosure is designed to optimize the speaker's acoustic properties, enhancing the sound quality and directionality. Finally, the completed loudspeaker unit undergoes rigorous testing and quality control measures before being packaged and prepared for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 851821 loudspeakers include raw materials such as magnets, voice coils, diaphragms, and enclosure materials like wood, plastic, or metal. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as speaker driver assembly lines, enclosure molding machines, and testing apparatus, are also essential for this industry. Additionally, skilled labor, including audio engineers, technicians, and production workers, is necessary to ensure the high-quality manufacturing and assembly of these loudspeaker units.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 851821 is single loudspeakers mounted in their enclosures, which are then consumed by a variety of other industries and applications. These loudspeakers may be used in 851830 Headphones, earphones and combined microphone/speaker sets, 851840 Audio-frequency electric amplifiers, and 852872 Reception apparatus for television, whether or not incorporating radio-broadcast receivers or sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus, among other related HS codes. The demand for these specialized loudspeakers is driven by the growing need for high-quality audio systems in consumer electronics, professional audio equipment, and various industrial applications.
