HS v2022 Code: 870310

About vehicles; specially designed for travelling on snow, golf cars and similar vehicles

HS code 870310 covers a specialized segment of the automotive industry, encompassing vehicles designed for traversing snow, as well as golf carts and similar utility vehicles. These vehicles play a crucial role in recreational activities, transportation, and industrial applications, particularly in regions with significant snowfall or terrain that requires specialized mobility solutions. The global market for these vehicles has seen steady growth, driven by increasing demand for versatile and efficient transportation options in diverse environments.

Production process

The production of vehicles under HS code 870310 typically involves a combination of advanced engineering, specialized manufacturing processes, and rigorous quality control measures. Manufacturers often utilize lightweight, durable materials such as aluminum, composite plastics, and specialized alloys to ensure the vehicles can navigate challenging terrain while maintaining optimal performance and energy efficiency. The assembly process may include the integration of specialized components, such as high-traction tires, reinforced suspensions, and advanced powertrain systems, to meet the unique operational requirements of these vehicles.

Production inputs

The production of vehicles under HS code 870310 requires a range of inputs, including raw materials like steel, aluminum, and plastics, as well as specialized components such as engines, transmissions, and electronic systems. Manufacturers may also rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, including computer-aided design (CAD) software, computer numerical control (CNC) machines, and robotic assembly lines, to ensure precision, efficiency, and consistency in the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and production personnel, to design, engineer, and assemble these specialized vehicles.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under HS code 870310 are primarily used for recreational activities, such as skiing, snowmobiling, and golfing, as well as for industrial and commercial applications, such as airport ground support, mining operations, and facilities management. The output of this industry may be consumed by a variety of other HS codes, including 950691 Snowmobiles, 950699 Other motorized vehicles for recreational use, and 870390 Other motor vehicles for the transport of persons, among others.
