HS v2022 Code: 96

About miscellaneous manufactured articles

HS code 96 covers a diverse range of 'miscellaneous manufactured articles', encompassing a wide variety of products that do not fit neatly into other classification codes. This broad category includes items such as brooms, brushes, buttons, pencils, umbrellas, and more. While the products may seem disparate, they all share the common trait of being manually or mechanically produced manufactured goods. The 96 code plays an important role in global trade, as these miscellaneous items are often essential components or accessories for a wide range of industries and consumer markets.

Production process

The production techniques used for the diverse array of products under HS code 96 vary greatly. Many items, such as brooms, brushes, and pencils, are produced through a combination of manual craftsmanship and automated manufacturing processes. Other products, like buttons and umbrellas, may involve more specialized machinery and assembly methods. Regardless of the specific techniques, the overarching goal is to transform raw materials, such as wood, plastics, textiles, and metals, into functional and often decorative end-products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the industries covered under HS code 96 include a wide range of raw materials, such as natural fibers, wood, plastics, metals, and various chemicals. Depending on the specific product, manufacturers may also require specialized machinery, tools, and molds. Additionally, skilled labor is a crucial input, as many of the items under this code require a degree of manual dexterity and craftsmanship during the production process.

Production outputs

The diverse range of products classified under HS code 96 are used as inputs or accessories for a wide variety of other industries and consumer markets. For example, 44 Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal, 39 Plastics and articles thereof, and 73 Articles of iron or steel may all consume outputs from the 96 code. Additionally, many of the miscellaneous manufactured articles are end-products sold directly to consumers, such as 66 Umbrellas, sun umbrellas, walking sticks, seat-sticks, whips, riding-crops and parts thereof, 96 Miscellaneous manufactured articles, and 95 Toys, games and sports requisites; parts and accessories thereof.
