Engines; outboard motors for marine propulsion, spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines

HS v2017 Code: 840721

About engines; outboard motors for marine propulsion, spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines

hs code 840721 covers outboard motors for marine propulsion, a critical component of the global maritime industry. These spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines are essential for powering small to medium-sized watercraft, from recreational boats to commercial fishing vessels. The demand for these engines is driven by the ongoing expansion of maritime trade, tourism, and recreational boating activities worldwide, making this a significant sector within the broader transportation equipment manufacturing industry.

Production process

The production of outboard motors classified under hs code 840721 typically involves a multi-step manufacturing process. This includes the fabrication of engine components such as the cylinder block, crankshaft, and pistons, as well as the assembly of the complete engine unit. Advanced casting, machining, and precision engineering techniques are employed to ensure the reliability and performance of these marine propulsion systems.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 840721 outboard motors include raw materials such as aluminum, steel, and various alloys for the engine components. Specialized machinery, including CNC machining tools and assembly lines, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in engine design, production, and quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 840721 is outboard motors for marine propulsion, which are then consumed by various 890310 Vessels and other floating structures for breaking up and 890392 Motorboats, other than outboard motorboats. These engines are crucial for powering a wide range of watercraft, from small recreational boats to larger commercial vessels, supporting industries such as fishing, tourism, and maritime transportation.
