Anchors, grapnels and parts thereof, of iron or steel

HS v2022 Code: 7316

About anchors, grapnels and parts thereof, of iron or steel

HS code 7316 covers the classification of anchors, grapnels, and their parts, made of iron or steel. These essential maritime components play a crucial role in the shipping and boating industries, providing secure mooring and anchoring solutions for vessels of all sizes. As a foundational element of maritime infrastructure, the products under this code contribute significantly to the global trade and transportation ecosystem.

Production process

The production of anchors, grapnels, and their parts typically involves a combination of metalworking techniques, such as forging, casting, and machining. Manufacturers may start with raw iron or steel materials, which are then shaped, heat-treated, and finished to meet the specific design and performance requirements of the end products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7316 items include high-quality iron and steel, as well as specialized machinery and tools for metalworking. Depending on the specific product, additional components such as fasteners, coatings, or specialized hardware may also be necessary. The industry relies on a robust supply chain of raw materials, equipment, and skilled labor to ensure the consistent and reliable manufacture of these critical maritime components.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 7316 are anchors, grapnels, and their constituent parts, which are essential for the safe mooring and anchoring of ships, boats, and other watercraft. These products are consumed by a wide range of industries, including 8901 Vessels and other floating structures, 8903 Yachts and other vessels for pleasure or sports, and 8904 Tugs and pusher craft, among others. The reliable and durable nature of these maritime components ensures their continued demand across the global shipping and boating sectors.
