HS v2022 Code: 854720

About insulating fittings; of plastics, for electrical machines, of insulating material only (except minor assembly parts), excluding those of heading no. 8546

HS code 854720 covers a critical component in the electrical and electronics industry - insulating fittings made of plastic for electrical machines. These fittings play a vital role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of a wide range of electrical equipment, from household appliances to industrial machinery. As the demand for reliable and energy-efficient electrical systems continues to grow, the importance of this industry segment within the broader economy cannot be overstated.

Production process

The production of insulating fittings under HS code 854720 typically involves injection molding or compression molding techniques. Plastic resins, such as thermoplastics or thermosets, are heated and then forced into molds to create the desired shapes and sizes of the fittings. The molded parts may undergo additional processing, such as trimming, drilling, or surface finishing, to meet specific design and performance requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of insulating fittings under HS code 854720 include plastic resins, such as 390110 Polyethylene, having a specific gravity of less than 0.94, 390120 Polyethylene, having a specific gravity of 0.94 or more, and 390130 Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized molds, injection molding or compression molding machines, and various tools and equipment for the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 854720 is insulating fittings made of plastic for use in electrical machines. These fittings are essential components in a wide range of electrical and electronic products, including 8501 Electric motors and generators, 8502 Electric generating sets and rotary converters, and 8503 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading 8501 or 8502.
