About HS Code 850519
This HS code covers permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization, other than those made of metal. This primarily includes ceramic (ferrite) magnets and flexible, plastic-bonded magnets. These magnets are generally more cost-effective and corrosion-resistant than their metallic counterparts, though typically less powerful. They find widespread use in applications where high magnetic strength isn't the primary requirement, such as speakers, small motors, refrigerator magnets, toys, and various consumer goods. Importers and exporters include manufacturers of home appliances, automotive accessories, audio equipment, and promotional items, seeking economical and versatile magnetic solutions for mass-produced products.
Products Under This Code
Ceramic ferrite magnets, flexible magnetic strips, plastic-bonded magnets, rubber magnets, magnetic sheets, magnetic labels, speaker magnets
Real World Examples
Speaker magnets (ferrite), refrigerator magnets, magnetic whiteboard strips, flexible magnetic seals, magnetic car signs
Common Misclassification
Often confused with 850511 (metal permanent magnets) if the material composition isn't carefully checked. Also, sometimes mistaken for magnetic recording media (8523) if in sheet form, or general plastic articles (3926) if the magnetic property is secondary.
Products Classified Under 8505.19
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
China is the primary exporter, while the USA, Germany, and Mexico are significant importers for various manufacturing sectors.
