HS v2017 Code: 8907
About boats, floating structures, other (for e.g. rafts, tanks, coffer-dams, landing stages, buoys and beacons)
hs code 8907 covers a diverse range of floating structures and vessels that serve various purposes in the maritime industry. These products play a crucial role in transportation, construction, and maritime infrastructure, contributing significantly to global trade and economic development. From small recreational rafts to large-scale floating platforms, the items classified under this code are essential components of the broader maritime ecosystem.
Production process
The production of items under hs code 8907 typically involves a combination of specialized manufacturing techniques. Depending on the specific product, the process may include metal fabrication, fiberglass molding, wood crafting, or a blend of these methods. Advanced engineering and design principles are often employed to ensure the structural integrity, stability, and functionality of these floating structures.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of hs code 8907 items include raw materials such as steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and wood. Specialized machinery, such as welding equipment, molds, and cutting tools, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced engineering software, design expertise, and skilled labor to bring these complex structures to life.
Production outputs
The diverse range of products covered by hs code 8907 serve a variety of end-users and industries. These floating structures and vessels find applications in 8901 Vessels and other floating structures for breaking up for ship dismantling, 8902 Vessels for the transport of goods for cargo transportation, and 8903 Yachts and other vessels for pleasure or sports for recreational purposes. The industry's outputs also contribute to the construction and maintenance of maritime infrastructure, such as 8904 Tugs and pusher craft and 8905 Light-vessels, fire-floats, dredgers, floating cranes, and other vessels the navigability of which is subsidiary to their main function; floating docks; floating or submersible drilling or production platforms.
