About baby carriages and parts thereof
HS code 8715 covers the classification of baby carriages and their component parts. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, providing essential transportation solutions for infants and young children. As a key segment of the larger childcare and juvenile products market, the baby carriage industry is closely tied to demographic and lifestyle trends that impact demand for these specialized vehicles.
Production process
The production of baby carriages typically involves a combination of metalworking, plastics fabrication, and textile manufacturing techniques. Key steps include the stamping, bending, and welding of metal frames, the molding and assembly of plastic components, and the cutting and sewing of fabric for seats, canopies, and other soft goods. Automated machinery is often used to improve efficiency and consistency in the manufacturing process.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the baby carriage industry include steel, aluminum, and other metals for the frame and structural components; various plastic resins for molded parts; and textiles such as cotton, polyester, and nylon for the soft goods. Specialized components like wheels, brakes, and suspension systems are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of machinery and tools, including stamping presses, welding equipment, and sewing machines.
Production outputs
The primary output of the baby carriage industry is, of course, the finished carriages and strollers themselves. These products are then consumed by 9403 Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings and 9401 (Seats (other than those of heading 94.02), whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof), as well as the broader 9503 (Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys; dolls' carriages; dolls; other toys; reduced-size ('scale') models and similar recreational models, working or not; puzzles of all kinds) industry.
