Machines; for making rope or cable

HS v2022 Code: 847940

About machines; for making rope or cable

HS code 847940 covers machines used in the production of rope and cable. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential components for a wide range of applications. From the production of industrial-grade ropes for maritime and mining operations to the fabrication of specialized cables for telecommunications and electrical infrastructure, the machines described by this code are integral to many facets of the global economy.

Production process

The primary production techniques for machines covered under HS code 847940 involve the use of specialized machinery to twist, braid, or otherwise manipulate raw materials into the desired rope or cable configuration. This may include the use of spindles, bobbins, and other mechanisms to control the tension and direction of the fibers or strands being processed. Advanced models may also incorporate automated control systems and computer-aided design to optimize the production process and ensure consistent quality.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of machines under HS code 847940 include a variety of raw materials, such as natural and synthetic fibers (e.g., 530500 (sisal), nc_link(550320)(polyester), nc_link(560410)(high-tenacity yarn)), as well as specialized components like bearings, gears, and electronic control systems. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on advanced metalworking and fabrication capabilities to construct the machines themselves.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 847940 is, of course, the machines used for making rope and cable. These machines may be sold to a variety of end-users, including [nc_link(560721)(rope and cable manufacturers), nc_link(252310)(cement manufacturers), nc_link(271011)(oil and gas companies), and [nc_link(853610)(electrical equipment suppliers). The machines produced under this code are essential for the creation of a wide range of products that are vital to numerous industries and sectors.
