About HS Code 850590
This broad category covers electromagnets, electromagnetic holding devices, and parts of the articles classified under heading 8505, not elsewhere specified. Electromagnets are temporary magnets whose magnetic field is produced by an electric current, making them essential in relays, solenoids, lifting magnets, and magnetic locks. Electromagnetic holding devices utilize magnetic force to secure or manipulate objects. This trade is crucial for industrial automation, security systems, material handling, and various electromechanical applications. Importers and exporters include manufacturers of industrial equipment, security systems, and specialized machinery, seeking components that offer controlled magnetic force for specific operational needs.
Products Under This Code
Industrial lifting electromagnets, door release electromagnets, solenoid valves, electromagnetic chucks, magnetic separators, electromagnetic relays (components), parts of permanent magnets
Real World Examples
Schmalz vacuum components (magnetic grippers), Dormakaba electromagnetic locks, Festo solenoid valves, Eriez magnetic separators, parts for Neodymium magnets
Common Misclassification
Often confused with permanent magnets (850511, 850519) if the temporary nature of the magnetism isn't clear. Solenoid valves might be misclassified under 8481 (taps, cocks, valves) if the electromagnetic actuator is overlooked. Parts of magnets can be confused with raw materials (e.g., iron, steel) if not clearly identifiable as magnet components.
Products Classified Under 8505.90
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
China, Germany, and the USA are leading exporters, while the USA, Germany, and Mexico are significant importers for manufacturing and industrial use.
