HS v2017 Code: 870850

About vehicle parts; drive-axles with differential, whether or not provided with other transmission components, and non-driving axles; parts thereof

hs code 870850 covers a critical component of the automotive industry - vehicle parts, specifically drive-axles with differential and non-driving axles. These parts play a vital role in the functioning and performance of vehicles, enabling the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels. As a key input for 870321 Motor vehicles for the transport of persons, including station wagons and racing cars, 870322 Motor vehicles for the transport of persons, including station wagons and racing cars, and 870323 Motor vehicles for the transport of persons, including station wagons and racing cars, this industry is an essential cog in the broader automotive supply chain and the global economy.

Production process

The production of vehicle parts under hs code 870850 typically involves a combination of precision engineering, advanced manufacturing techniques, and strict quality control measures. The process often begins with the sourcing of high-quality raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and specialized alloys. These materials are then subjected to various metalworking processes, including forging, casting, and machining, to shape them into the desired components. Advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies are often employed to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the parts produced.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vehicle parts under hs code 870850 include raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and specialized alloys, as well as various mechanical and electronic components, such as bearings, seals, and sensors. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, including CNC machines, welding equipment, and testing apparatus, to ensure the precision and quality of the final products. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by hs code 870850 are drive-axles with differential and non-driving axles, which are essential components for a wide range of motor vehicles, including passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and off-road vehicles. These parts are then consumed by manufacturers of 870321 Motor vehicles for the transport of persons, including station wagons and racing cars, 870322 Motor vehicles for the transport of persons, including station wagons and racing cars, and 870323 Motor vehicles for the transport of persons, including station wagons and racing cars, as well as other related industries, such as the aftermarket automotive parts and repair sector.
