Combine harvester-threshers

HS v2017 Code: 843351

About combine harvester-threshers

hs code 843351 covers combine harvester-threshers, a critical piece of agricultural machinery used in the harvesting of cereal crops such as wheat, rice, and barley. These machines play a vital role in the global food supply chain, enabling efficient and large-scale harvesting of staple grains. As a key component of modern industrial agriculture, the combine harvester-thresher industry is an important contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

Combine harvester-threshers are complex machines that combine several harvesting functions into a single unit. The main production techniques involve the assembly of various mechanical components, including the cutting platform, threshing mechanism, cleaning system, and grain storage tank. Manufacturers utilize advanced engineering and precision manufacturing processes to ensure the reliability, efficiency, and durability of these machines.

Production inputs

The production of combine harvester-threshers requires a range of inputs, including steel and other metal alloys for the structural components, specialized engines and transmissions, electronic control systems, and various rubber and plastic parts. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as CNC machines and robotic assembly lines, as well as a skilled workforce capable of operating and maintaining these complex machines.

Production outputs

The primary output of the combine harvester-thresher industry is the finished machines, which are then sold to agricultural producers and contractors. These machines are essential for the harvesting of cereal crops, and their output is consumed by a wide range of industries, including 100100 Cereal Grains, 100200 Vegetables and Melons, and 100300 Fruits, among others.
