About vacuum flasks and other vacuum vessels, complete with cases; parts thereof other than glass inners

HS code 9617 covers the production and trade of vacuum flasks, thermoses, and other vacuum vessels, along with their associated parts and accessories. These products are essential for maintaining the temperature of liquids and foods, making them crucial in various industries, including food and beverage, healthcare, and outdoor recreation. The global vacuum flask market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand for portable and efficient temperature-control solutions.

Production process

The production of vacuum flasks and vessels typically involves a multi-step process. First, the outer shell, often made of stainless steel or other durable materials, is formed. The inner lining, which creates the vacuum, is then carefully installed. This lining is typically made of glass or other insulating materials to maximize the thermal efficiency of the product. The two components are then sealed together, and any necessary accessories, such as caps or handles, are added to complete the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vacuum flasks and vessels include raw materials such as stainless steel, glass, and various insulating materials. Specialized machinery, such as metal-forming equipment and vacuum-sealing devices, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to ensure the quality and precision of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 9617 is the vacuum flasks, thermoses, and other vacuum vessels themselves. These products are widely used in the 22 Beverages, spirits and vinegar, 30 Pharmaceutical products, and 95 Toys, games and sports requisites; parts and accessories thereof industries, among others. The parts and accessories produced under this code are also consumed by manufacturers and consumers who require replacement or customization of their existing vacuum vessels.
