Tractors; (other than tractors of heading no 8709)
HS v2017 Code: 8701
About tractors; (other than tractors of heading no 8709)
hs code 8701 covers a wide range of agricultural and industrial tractors, which are essential for various sectors of the economy. These versatile machines play a crucial role in powering farming operations, construction projects, and material handling tasks. As a key component of the machinery industry, the production and trade of tractors under hs code 8701 contribute significantly to global economic activity and food security.
Production process
Tractors classified under hs code 8701 are typically manufactured using advanced engineering techniques and modern production methods. The manufacturing process often involves the assembly of various components, including the engine, transmission, chassis, and specialized attachments. Automated assembly lines, precision machining, and rigorous quality control measures are commonly employed to ensure the reliability and performance of these machines.
Production inputs
The production of tractors under hs code 8801 requires a range of inputs, including high-quality steel, aluminum, and other metals for the frame and body components. Sophisticated engines, transmissions, and electronic systems are also essential inputs, often sourced from specialized manufacturers. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as welding machines, paint booths, and testing facilities, to ensure the quality and efficiency of the final product.
Production outputs
Tractors classified under hs code 8701 are primarily used in the agricultural sector, where they are essential for tasks such as plowing, planting, and harvesting. They are also widely used in construction, mining, and material handling industries, where their power and versatility are highly valued. The output of this industry is often consumed by other industries, such as 8702 Motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver, 8703 (Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons (other than those of heading 8702), including station wagons and racing cars), and 8704 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods.
