Harrows; disc harrows

HS v2022 Code: 843221

About harrows; disc harrows

HS code 843221 covers the classification of harrows and disc harrows, which are essential agricultural implements used for soil preparation and seedbed cultivation. These tools play a crucial role in the broader agricultural industry, helping to break up and level the soil, incorporate organic matter, and create a suitable environment for seed germination and plant growth. As a key component of modern farming practices, the production and trade of harrows and disc harrows contribute significantly to the global food supply chain.

Production process

Harrows and disc harrows are typically manufactured using a combination of metal fabrication and assembly techniques. The main components, such as the frame, tines, and discs, are often produced through processes like cutting, bending, and welding of steel or other durable materials. The assembly of these components involves precise alignment and attachment, ensuring the proper functioning and durability of the final product.

Production inputs

The production of harrows and disc harrows requires a range of inputs, including steel or other metal alloys for the frame and components, as well as specialized hardware like bearings, bushings, and fasteners. Additionally, the manufacturing process may involve the use of various tools and machinery, such as 846711 Metal-cutting machine tools, 846721 Metal-forming machine tools, and 842919 Machinery for soil preparation or cultivation, to shape and assemble the final product.

Production outputs

Harrows and disc harrows produced under HS code 843221 are primarily used in the agricultural sector, where they are essential for preparing the soil for planting and cultivating crops. The output of this industry is often consumed by 870120 (Tractors (other than tractors of heading 87.09)) and 842919 Machinery for soil preparation or cultivation manufacturers, as well as directly by farmers and agricultural producers.
