HS v2022 Code: 853949

About lamps; ultra-violet or infra-red lamps, (excluding arc-lamps)

HS code 853949 covers a diverse range of lamps, including ultra-violet (UV) and infra-red (IR) lamps. These specialized lighting products play a crucial role in various industries, from medical and scientific applications to commercial and industrial settings. The global market for these lamps is driven by their versatility, energy efficiency, and growing demand across a wide range of sectors, making this a significant component of the broader lighting and electrical equipment industry.

Production process

The production of lamps under HS code 853949 typically involves several key steps. Manufacturers begin by sourcing the necessary raw materials, such as glass, metal, and specialized gases. These components are then carefully assembled, often using automated processes, to create the lamp's structure and housing. The next step involves the insertion of the appropriate filament or gas-discharge tube, which is responsible for generating the desired light output. Finally, the lamps undergo rigorous testing and quality control measures to ensure they meet safety and performance standards before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of lamps under HS code 853949 include glass, metals (such as tungsten or aluminum), specialized gases (e.g., argon, mercury, or xenon), and various electronic components. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and equipment, such as glass-blowing tools, vacuum chambers, and automated assembly lines. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce capable of handling the technical aspects of lamp production and assembly.

Production outputs

The lamps produced under HS code 853949 are used in a wide range of applications, including medical equipment, scientific instrumentation, industrial lighting, and commercial and residential settings. These lamps may be consumed by industries covered by other HS codes, such as 901850 Medical, surgical or laboratory sterilizers, 901890 Medical, surgical or laboratory instruments and appliances, and 940520 Lamps and lighting fittings. The versatility and specialized nature of these lamps make them an essential component in various sectors, contributing to the overall growth and development of the lighting and electrical equipment industry.
