HS v2022 Code: 870895

About vehicle parts; safety airbags with inflater system; parts thereof

HS code 870895 covers a critical component of modern vehicle safety systems - the safety airbag. These inflatable restraints, along with their associated inflator mechanisms, play a vital role in protecting vehicle occupants in the event of a collision. As a key part of the broader automotive industry, the production and trade of these safety-critical components is of significant importance to the global economy.

Production process

The manufacture of safety airbags and their inflater systems involves a complex process. It typically begins with the fabrication of the airbag fabric, often using specialized weaving or knitting techniques to create the required strength and folding properties. The inflater mechanism, which rapidly fills the airbag upon impact, is then assembled using precision engineering. Finally, the airbag and inflater are integrated into the vehicle's safety systems through careful installation and testing.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 870895 items requires a range of specialized inputs. Key raw materials include technical textiles for the airbag fabric, as well as metals, electronics, and pyrotechnic materials for the inflater mechanism. Sophisticated machinery and testing equipment are also essential for the manufacture and quality control of these safety-critical components. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of executing the intricate assembly and integration processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 870895 is the safety airbag and inflater system, which is then integrated into 870321 Passenger motor vehicles with spark-ignition engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc, 870322 Passenger motor vehicles with spark-ignition engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,000 cc but not exceeding 1,500 cc, 870323 Passenger motor vehicles with spark-ignition engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc, and other motor vehicle classifications. These safety systems are essential for protecting vehicle occupants and are a critical component of the broader automotive industry.
