Lifts, skip hoists or escalators; parts thereof

HS v2022 Code: 843131

About lifts, skip hoists or escalators; parts thereof

HS code 843131 covers the import and export of lifts, skip hoists, and escalators, as well as their component parts. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction, transportation, and logistics sectors, enabling the efficient movement of people and goods across various settings. As urbanization and infrastructure development continue to rise globally, the demand for these specialized machines and their parts has become increasingly important to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of lifts, skip hoists, and escalators involves a complex manufacturing process. Key steps include the fabrication of structural components, the assembly of drive mechanisms and control systems, and the integration of safety features. Manufacturers often utilize advanced engineering techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, to ensure precision and quality in the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 843131 items include steel and other metals for the structural components, electric motors and gearboxes for the drive systems, and electronic control systems. Specialized tools and machinery, such as welding equipment and assembly lines, are also essential to the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 843131 are the lifts, skip hoists, and escalators themselves, which are then consumed by the construction, transportation, and logistics industries 870120 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, 842620 Derricks; cranes, including cable cranes; mobile lifting frames, straddle carriers and works trucks fitted with a crane, and 842511 Pulley tackle and hoists, other than skip hoists; winches and capstans, among others. The component parts produced under this code are also important inputs for the maintenance and repair of these specialized machines.
