Haymaking machinery

HS v2017 Code: 843330

About haymaking machinery

hs code 843330 covers a range of machinery and equipment used in the haymaking process. Haymaking is a crucial agricultural activity, responsible for harvesting and processing hay - a key livestock feed. This industry plays a vital role in the broader agricultural economy, supporting the production of meat, dairy, and other animal-based products. The machinery described under this code is essential for efficient and large-scale hay production, enabling farmers and agricultural businesses to meet the growing global demand for animal feed.

Production process

The main production techniques involved in haymaking machinery include cutting, conditioning, raking, baling, and handling. Mowers and conditioners are used to cut and condition the hay, while rakes gather the cut hay into windrows. Balers then compress the hay into compact bales for storage and transportation. Loaders, stackers, and other handling equipment facilitate the movement and storage of the harvested hay.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of haymaking machinery include steel, aluminum, and other metal alloys for the structural components, as well as various electronic and hydraulic components for the machinery's operation. Manufacturers also rely on advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, to produce these specialized machines. The industry also requires a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers.

Production outputs

The primary output of the haymaking machinery industry is, of course, the machinery itself, which is then sold to farmers, ranchers, and agricultural businesses. These machines are used to produce 0414 Hay and fodder that is then consumed by 0141 Dairy cattle, 0142 Other cattle and buffaloes, and other livestock industries described under hs codes in the 01 Live animals and 02 Meat and edible meat offal sections.
