Lamps; sealed beam units

HS v2022 Code: 853910

About lamps; sealed beam units

HS code 853910 covers the classification of sealed beam lamp units, which are a type of automotive lighting technology. These lamps are widely used in various vehicles, including cars, trucks, and heavy machinery, to provide essential illumination for safe operation. As a critical component of the automotive industry, the production and trade of sealed beam lamps play a significant role in the broader transportation and logistics sectors.

Production process

The production of sealed beam lamp units typically involves a multi-step manufacturing process. The key steps include the fabrication of the lamp's glass or plastic housing, the installation of the filament or LED light source, and the sealing of the unit to create a hermetically sealed enclosure. Automated assembly lines and specialized machinery are often employed to ensure consistent quality and high production volumes.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of sealed beam lamps include glass or plastic materials for the housing, electrical components such as filaments or LED modules, and various sealants and adhesives to assemble the final product. Additionally, specialized manufacturing equipment, such as glass-forming machines and automated assembly lines, are essential resources for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 853910 is sealed beam lamp units, which are then consumed by 871200 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods and 870120 (Tractors (other than tractors of heading 8709)) manufacturers, as well as the broader 8703 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons industry. These lamps are critical components that enable the safe operation of various vehicles and machinery.
