Iron or steel; leaf-springs and leaves therefor
HS v2017 Code: 732010
About iron or steel; leaf-springs and leaves therefor
HS code 732010 covers the import and export of iron or steel leaf-springs and leaves. Leaf-springs are a critical component in the suspension systems of various vehicles, including cars, trucks, and heavy machinery. This industry plays a vital role in the broader transportation and manufacturing sectors, ensuring the smooth and safe operation of a wide range of equipment.
Production process
The production of leaf-springs typically involves several key steps. First, the raw steel is cut and shaped into the desired leaf-spring form. The leaves are then heat-treated to improve their strength and durability. Finally, the individual leaves are assembled and fastened together to create the complete leaf-spring assembly.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of leaf-springs under HS code 732010 include high-quality steel, specialized machinery for cutting, shaping, and heat-treating the steel, as well as various fasteners and components for assembling the final product. Skilled labor is also a critical input, as the production process requires precision and attention to detail.
Production outputs
The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 732010 is the leaf-spring assembly itself. These components are then consumed by manufacturers of various vehicles and machinery, such as 870421 Trucks, 842952 Machinery, and 870120 Tractors. The leaf-springs produced under this code are essential for the proper functioning and safety of these products.
