Vehicle parts; radiators and parts thereof
HS v2022 Code: 870891
About vehicle parts; radiators and parts thereof
HS code 870891 covers the import and export of vehicle parts, specifically radiators and their components. This industry plays a crucial role in the global automotive supply chain, providing essential components for the manufacturing and maintenance of vehicles. Radiators are a vital part of a vehicle's cooling system, responsible for dissipating heat generated by the engine, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. The demand for these parts is driven by the continuous growth of the automotive industry, both in terms of new vehicle production and the need for replacement parts.
Production process
The production of radiators and their parts typically involves a combination of metalworking, assembly, and quality control processes. Manufacturers often start with raw materials such as aluminum, copper, or steel, which are then shaped, welded, and assembled into the final radiator components. Advanced techniques like hydroforming, stamping, and brazing are commonly used to ensure the durability and precision of the parts. Automated assembly lines and robotic systems are increasingly being adopted to improve efficiency and consistency in the manufacturing process.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of radiators and their parts include raw materials such as aluminum, copper, and steel, as well as various fasteners, hoses, and other hardware components. Specialized machinery, such as metalworking tools, welding equipment, 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 products.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 870891 is radiators and their component parts, which are then consumed by the 870321 Passenger vehicles, spark-ignition engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc, 870322 Passenger vehicles, spark-ignition engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,000 cc but not exceeding 1,500 cc, 870323 Passenger vehicles, spark-ignition engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc, and 870324 Passenger vehicles, spark-ignition engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 3,000 cc industries, among others. These radiator parts are essential for the proper functioning and maintenance of vehicles, ensuring efficient cooling and heat dissipation.
