About trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; parts thereof

HS code 8716 covers a diverse range of non-motorized vehicles, including trailers, semi-trailers, and other wheeled transport equipment. These products play a crucial role in the global logistics and transportation industry, facilitating the efficient movement of goods and materials across various sectors. As a key component of the broader supply chain, the 8716 industry is integral to the smooth functioning of the global economy.

Production process

The production of 8716 vehicles typically involves a combination of metalworking, welding, and assembly techniques. Manufacturers often start with raw materials such as steel, aluminum, or composite materials, which are then cut, shaped, and joined to form the vehicle's frame and body. Specialized equipment, such as press brakes and welding machines, are used to ensure the structural integrity and precision of the final product. The assembly process may include the installation of wheels, suspension systems, and other components, often with the aid of automation and robotics.

Production inputs

The 8716 industry relies on a range of inputs, including 7208 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, 7216 Angles, shapes and sections of iron or non-alloy steel, 7301 Sheet piling of iron or steel; welded angles, shapes and sections, of iron or steel, and other metal products. Additionally, the industry requires specialized components such as 8708 Parts and accessories of motor vehicles, 8302 Base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets or the like; base metal hat-racks, hat-pegs, brackets and similar fixtures; castors with mountings of base metal, and 8302 Castors with mountings of base metal. The production process also relies on various tools, machinery, and energy sources.

Production outputs

The 8716 industry produces a wide range of non-motorized vehicles, including trailers, semi-trailers, and other wheeled transport equipment. These products are used across various industries, such as 8701 (Tractors (other than tractors of heading 8709)), 8704 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, and 8705 (Special purpose motor vehicles, other than those principally designed for the transport of persons or goods (for example, breakdown lorries, crane lorries, fire fighting vehicles, concrete-mixer lorries, road sweeper lorries, spraying lorries, mobile workshops, mobile radiological units)). The outputs of the 8716 industry are essential for the efficient movement of goods and materials, supporting the broader logistics and transportation sector.
