Insulating fittings; (other than of ceramics or plastics), for electrical machines, appliances and equipment, excluding insulators of heading no. 8546

HS code 854790 covers a wide range of insulating fittings used in the electrical industry. These components play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of electrical machines, appliances, and equipment. They are essential for isolating and protecting electrical circuits, preventing short circuits, and maintaining the integrity of electrical systems. The demand for these insulating fittings is driven by the growing global need for reliable and safe electrical infrastructure, particularly in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and renewable energy.

Insulating fittings under HS code 854790 are typically produced using a variety of manufacturing techniques, including injection molding, compression molding, and extrusion. These processes involve melting and shaping non-conductive materials, such as rubber, silicone, or specialized polymers, into the desired shapes and sizes. The final products are then subjected to rigorous quality control measures to ensure they meet industry standards and safety requirements.

The main inputs required for the production of insulating fittings under HS code 854790 include non-conductive raw materials, such as 400110 Natural rubber, 3901 Polymers of ethylene, and 3902 Polymers of propylene. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as injection molding machines, extruders, and precision cutting tools, are essential for the manufacturing process. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and quality control personnel, is also a crucial input for this industry.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 854790 are a wide range of insulating fittings, including cable glands, bushings, terminal blocks, and other specialized components. These products are then consumed by various industries, such as 8501 Electric motors and generators, 8504 Transformers, static converters and inductors, and 8517 Telephone sets, including telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks, where they are used to ensure the safe and reliable operation of electrical equipment and systems.
