About jacks; built-in jacking systems of a type used in garages, for raising vehicles

HS code 842541 covers a critical piece of equipment used in the automotive industry - jacks and built-in jacking systems for raising vehicles. These tools are essential for a wide range of vehicle maintenance and repair tasks, from tire changes to engine work. As a key component of the broader 87 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof industry, the production and trade of these jacks plays an important role in the global economy.

Production process

Jacks and built-in jacking systems covered under HS code 842541 are typically manufactured through a combination of metalworking processes. This often involves cutting, bending, and welding of steel or other metal components to create the jack's frame and lifting mechanism. Precision machining may be used to ensure smooth and reliable operation of the lifting screw or hydraulic piston. Assembly of the various parts, including safety features and controls, is a critical final step in the production process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 842541 items include steel and other metal alloys for the structural components, as well as hydraulic fluid, seals, and other consumables for hydraulic jacks. Specialized machinery such as metal presses, welding equipment, and precision machine tools are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor with expertise in metalworking and mechanical assembly is a key input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 842541 is jacks and built-in jacking systems for use in the automotive industry. These products are consumed by a variety of other industries and codes, including 8707 (Bodies (including cabs), for the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705), 8708 Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705, and 8716 Trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; parts thereof. The efficient production and distribution of these jacks helps to support the broader automotive supply chain and maintenance ecosystem.
