About engines; reciprocating piston engines, of a kind used for the propulsion of vehicles of chapter 87, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 50cc but not exceeding 250cc

HS code 840732 covers reciprocating piston engines with a cylinder capacity exceeding 50cc but not exceeding 250cc, used for the propulsion of vehicles in Chapter 87 of the Harmonized System. These engines are a critical component in the automotive industry, powering a wide range of vehicles from motorcycles to small cars. Their importance extends beyond the transportation sector, as they are also utilized in various other applications, such as power generators and small machinery.

Production process

The production of engines under HS code 840732 involves several key steps. First, the engine block is cast, typically from aluminum or cast iron, to form the main structure. Pistons, crankshafts, and other internal components are then precisely machined and assembled within the engine block. The cylinder head, which houses the valves and fuel delivery system, is also manufactured and attached to the engine block. Finally, the engine is tested, tuned, and prepared for installation in the target vehicle or application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of engines under HS code 840732 include raw materials such as aluminum, cast iron, and steel for the engine components. Specialized machinery, such as CNC machines, casting equipment, and assembly lines, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating these machines and performing the necessary precision engineering tasks.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the reciprocating piston engines described by HS code 840732. These engines are then consumed by manufacturers of 870210 Motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver, 870321 Automobiles with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc, and 871120 (Motorcycles (including mopeds) with reciprocating internal combustion piston engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cc), among other vehicle categories.
