Electrical apparatus; parts (e.g. boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets, other bases), for goods of heading no. 8537, not equipped with their apparatus

HS code 853810 covers a wide range of electrical apparatus and parts used in the manufacturing and installation of electrical control and distribution equipment. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader electrical and electronics sector, providing essential components for various applications, from industrial automation to commercial and residential power systems.

The production of electrical apparatus and parts under HS code 853810 typically involves a combination of metalworking, plastics fabrication, and assembly techniques. Manufacturers use processes such as stamping, casting, and machining to shape the metal components, while injection molding and thermoforming are used for the plastic parts. The final assembly often includes the integration of electronic components, wiring, and other specialized fittings to create the finished products.

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 853810 include various metals (such as steel, aluminum, and copper), plastics, electronic components (e.g., circuit boards, switches, and sensors), and specialized tools and machinery. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and assembling the final products.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 853810 are the electrical apparatus and parts used in the manufacturing and installation of electrical control and distribution equipment. These products are often consumed by industries such as 853710 (Electrical apparatus; for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, fuses, lightning arresters, voltage limiters, surge suppressors, plugs and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts; connectors for optical fibres, optical fibre bundles or cables), 854420 Electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts, not fitted with connectors, and 851220 (Electrical lighting or signalling equipment (excluding articles of heading no. 8539), windscreen wipers, defrosters and demisters, of a kind used for cycles or motor vehicles).
