Vehicles; with only spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, cylinder capacity not over 1000cc

HS v2017 Code: 870321

About vehicles; with only spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, cylinder capacity not over 1000cc

hs code 870321 covers a crucial segment of the automotive industry - vehicles with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engines and a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1000cc. These compact, fuel-efficient vehicles play a vital role in personal transportation, particularly in urban and suburban areas where their maneuverability and low operating costs are highly valued. The 870321 classification encompasses a wide range of passenger cars, small vans, and other light motor vehicles that are essential components of the global economy.

Production process

The production of vehicles under hs code 870321 involves a complex, highly automated manufacturing process. Key steps include stamping and forming of body panels, engine assembly, installation of electrical and electronic systems, and final assembly and testing. Manufacturers utilize advanced robotics, computer-aided design (CAD), and just-in-time inventory management to ensure efficient, high-quality production. The focus on lightweight materials and compact engine design helps optimize fuel efficiency and performance for this class of vehicles.

Production inputs

The production of 870321 vehicles requires a diverse range of inputs, including steel, aluminum, and other metals for the body and chassis, as well as specialized components such as spark plugs, fuel injectors, and electronic control units. Manufacturers also rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, including stamping presses, welding machines, and assembly lines. Additionally, the industry consumes significant quantities of energy, primarily in the form of electricity and natural gas, to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under hs code 870321 are primarily intended for personal transportation, serving as the primary mode of mobility for individuals and families. These compact, fuel-efficient vehicles are often consumed by 870322 Vehicles; with only spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, cylinder capacity over 1000cc but not over 1500cc and 870323 Vehicles; with only spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, cylinder capacity over 1500cc as they progress to larger engine sizes. The 870321 vehicles may also be utilized in the 870324 Vehicles; with only spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, cylinder capacity over 3000cc and 870331 (Vehicles; with only compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), cylinder capacity not over 1500cc) classifications, depending on the specific engine and vehicle characteristics.
