Graders and levellers

HS v2022 Code: 842920

About graders and levellers

HS code 842920 covers graders and levellers, which are essential machinery used in construction, mining, and infrastructure development. These machines play a crucial role in preparing and shaping the land, making them an integral part of the broader construction and earthmoving equipment industry. Their importance extends across various sectors, from road and railway construction to site preparation for buildings and other structures.

Production process

Graders and levellers are typically manufactured using a combination of metal fabrication, hydraulic systems, and electronic controls. The production process often involves cutting, welding, and assembling various metal components to create the main frame and attachments. Hydraulic systems are then integrated to provide the necessary power and control for the machine's movements, while electronic controls are added to enable precise operation and automation.

Production inputs

The production of graders and levellers requires a range of inputs, including steel and other metal alloys for the frame and components, hydraulic systems and pumps, electronic control systems, and various fasteners and accessories. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and tools to fabricate and assemble these complex machines. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is essential for the production of high-quality graders and levellers.

Production outputs

Graders and levellers produced under HS code 842920 are primarily used in construction, mining, and infrastructure development projects. Their output is consumed by a wide range of industries, including 4501 Road and railway construction, 4502 Building construction, and 0721 Mining of iron ores. These machines are essential for tasks such as levelling, smoothing, and shaping the ground, preparing sites for further construction or mining activities.
