HS v2022 Code: 870431

About vehicles; with only spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine, for transport of goods, (of a g.v.w. not exceeding 5 tonnes), n.e.c. in item no 8704.1

HS code 870431 covers a specific category of vehicles used for the transport of goods, with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) not exceeding 5 tonnes. These vehicles are powered by spark-ignition internal combustion piston engines and are an essential part of the global logistics and supply chain infrastructure. They play a crucial role in the efficient movement of goods, contributing to the overall economic activity and trade within and between countries.

Production process

The production of vehicles under HS code 870431 involves a complex manufacturing process that combines advanced engineering, precision assembly, and stringent quality control measures. Key steps include the fabrication of the vehicle frame and body, the installation of the engine and drivetrain components, the integration of electrical and electronic systems, and the final assembly and testing of the complete vehicle. Manufacturers often utilize automated production lines and advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure consistency, efficiency, and high-quality standards.

Production inputs

The production of vehicles under HS code 870431 requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastics for the vehicle body and components, as well as specialized parts and systems such as engines, transmissions, suspension components, and electrical wiring. Manufacturers also rely on advanced machinery, tools, and equipment to facilitate the production process, as well as skilled labor and technical expertise to design, engineer, and assemble the final product.

Production outputs

Vehicles classified under HS code 870431 are primarily used for the transport of goods, serving as an essential link in the global supply chain. These vehicles are often utilized by logistics companies, e-commerce businesses, and various industries that require the efficient movement of goods. The output of this industry may be consumed by other HS codes, such as 870120 Vehicles; motor vehicles for the transport of goods, with a g.v.w. exceeding 5 tonnes but not exceeding 20 tonnes, 870410 Vehicles; motor vehicles for the transport of goods, with a g.v.w. not exceeding 5 tonnes, and 870421 (Vehicles; motor vehicles for the transport of goods, with a g.v.w. exceeding 5 tonnes but not exceeding 20 tonnes, with only compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel)), depending on the specific requirements and characteristics of the goods being transported.
