Hand sieves and hand riddles

HS v2022 Code: 9604

About hand sieves and hand riddles

HS code 9604 covers hand sieves and hand riddles, which are essential tools used in a variety of industries, including agriculture, mining, and food processing. These simple yet effective devices play a crucial role in separating and sorting materials, making them an integral part of many supply chains and production processes. As a fundamental piece of equipment, the hand sieve and hand riddle industry supports a wide range of economic activities, contributing to the efficient and effective management of raw materials and finished goods.

Production process

The production of hand sieves and hand riddles typically involves the use of basic metalworking techniques. The main components, such as the frame and mesh, are often made from materials like steel, aluminum, or plastic. The manufacturing process may include cutting, bending, and welding the frame, as well as attaching the mesh material. Depending on the specific design and intended use, additional features like handles or specialized mesh patterns may be incorporated during the production stage.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the hand sieve and hand riddle industry include raw materials such as metal sheets, wire mesh, and plastic resins. Manufacturers may also require specialized tools and equipment, such as cutting machines, welding tools, and assembly fixtures. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the necessary machinery and assembling the final products to meet quality standards.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the hand sieve and hand riddle industry are the finished products, which are then distributed and sold to various end-users. These tools are commonly used in 0801 Agriculture and Horticulture, 2501 Mining and Quarrying, and 1501 Food and Beverage, among other industries, where they play a crucial role in processing, sorting, and separating materials. The outputs of this industry can be further classified under other HS codes, such as 7326 Other articles of iron or steel and 3926 Other articles of plastics.
