HS v2022 Code: 870130

About tractors; track-laying

HS code 870130 covers track-laying tractors, a specialized type of agricultural machinery that plays a crucial role in the farming and construction industries. These robust and versatile machines are designed to navigate challenging terrain, making them indispensable for tasks such as plowing, tilling, and hauling heavy loads in areas with limited accessibility. As a key component of the global agricultural supply chain, track-laying tractors contribute significantly to food production and infrastructure development worldwide.

Production process

The production of track-laying tractors involves a multi-step manufacturing process. First, the frame and chassis are fabricated using high-strength steel alloys to ensure durability and stability. The track system, which replaces traditional wheels, is then assembled, featuring heavy-duty rubber or metal tracks that provide superior traction and ground clearance. The engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems are then integrated, allowing for precise control and power delivery. Finally, the tractor is outfitted with specialized attachments, such as plows, loaders, or backhoes, to meet the specific needs of the intended application.

Production inputs

The production of track-laying tractors requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, rubber, and various metals for the engine and drivetrain components. Specialized machinery, such as welding equipment, metal-forming tools, and assembly lines, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is necessary to ensure the quality and reliability of the final product.

Production outputs

Track-laying tractors produced under HS code 870130 are primarily used in the agricultural and construction sectors. These versatile machines find applications in tasks such as 020101 Wheat, 020102 (Maize (corn)) and 020103 Rice cultivation, as well as in the construction of roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects. The output of this industry also serves as an input for various other industries, such as 870120 Road tractors for semi-trailers and 870190 (Tractors (excluding those of heading 87.09)).
