Vehicles; with only compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), cylinder capacity not over 1500cc

HS v2017 Code: 870331

About vehicles; with only compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), cylinder capacity not over 1500cc

hs code 870331 covers a crucial segment of the automotive industry - vehicles with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel) and a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1500cc. These compact, fuel-efficient vehicles play a significant role in global transportation, catering to the needs of both personal and commercial users. As a key component of the broader 870300 Motor vehicles for the transport of personsindustry, this code represents an important part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of vehicles under hs code 870331 involves several key steps. Manufacturers begin by sourcing the necessary components, including the diesel/semi-diesel engine, transmission, chassis, and body parts. These components are then carefully assembled using advanced manufacturing techniques, such as robotic welding, precision machining, and advanced painting and finishing processes. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the production process to ensure the vehicles meet safety and performance standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vehicles under hs code 870331 include raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastics for the body and chassis components. Specialized machinery, such as engine assembly lines and paint booths, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and assembly line workers, to ensure the efficient and high-quality production of these vehicles.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under hs code 870331 are primarily used for personal and commercial transportation. These compact, fuel-efficient vehicles are often in high demand, particularly in urban and suburban areas where space and fuel efficiency are important considerations. The output of this industry may be consumed by 870321 Motor vehicles for the transport of persons, with only spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1500cc and 870322 Motor vehicles for the transport of persons, with only spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1500cc but not exceeding 3000cc as well as other related transportation codes.

Revisions to 870331
