About special purpose motor vehicles; not those for the transport of persons or goods (e.g. breakdown lorries, road sweeper lorries, spraying lorries, mobile workshops, mobile radiological units etc)
hs code 8705 covers a diverse range of special-purpose motor vehicles that are not designed for the transport of people or goods. These vehicles play a crucial role in various industries and municipal services, providing specialized functions that support the broader economy. From breakdown lorries and road sweepers to mobile workshops and radiological units, this code encompasses a wide array of vehicles that are essential for maintaining infrastructure, providing emergency services, and enabling specialized operations.
Production process
The production of vehicles under hs code 8705 typically involves the integration of a specialized body or equipment onto a standard commercial vehicle chassis. This process often requires advanced engineering and fabrication techniques to ensure the vehicle's functionality, safety, and durability. Manufacturers may utilize modular construction methods, custom-built components, and advanced materials to create these specialized vehicles, which are tailored to meet the specific needs of their intended applications.
Production inputs
The production of hs code 8705 vehicles requires a range of inputs, including commercial vehicle chassis, specialized body components, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, and various other specialized equipment. Manufacturers may also rely on advanced materials, such as lightweight composites or high-strength steel, to optimize the vehicle's performance and efficiency. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and fabricators, is essential for the design, assembly, and customization of these specialized vehicles.
Production outputs
Vehicles classified under hs code 8705 serve a diverse range of end-users, including municipal authorities, emergency services, construction companies, and various industrial sectors. These specialized vehicles are often used for tasks such as 8704 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, 8429 Self-propelled bulldozers, angledozers, graders, levellers, scrapers, mechanical shovels, excavators, shovel loaders, tamping machines and road rollers, and 8430 Other moving, grading, levelling, scraping, excavating, tamping, compacting, extracting or boring machinery, for earth, minerals or ores; pile-drivers and pile-extractors; snow-ploughs and snow-blowers, among others. The outputs of this industry contribute to the efficient and effective operation of a wide range of economic activities.
