HS v2022 Code: 870850

About vehicle parts; drive-axles with differential, whether or not provided with other transmission components, and non-driving axles; parts thereof

HS code 870850 covers a critical component of the automotive industry - vehicle drive-axles and non-driving axles. These parts play a vital role in the transmission of power from the engine to the wheels, enabling the smooth and efficient operation of motor vehicles. As a key link in the automotive supply chain, this industry is essential to the broader transportation and logistics sectors, which are fundamental to global trade and economic activity.

Production process

The production of drive-axles and non-driving axles typically involves a multi-step manufacturing process. This often begins with the forging or casting of the axle components, followed by precision machining to ensure the required dimensions and tolerances. Heat treatment processes may be employed to enhance the strength and durability of the parts. Final assembly may involve the integration of differential mechanisms, bearings, and other transmission components, depending on the specific design requirements.
