Tanker trailers and tanker semi-trailers
HS v2022 Code: 871631
About tanker trailers and tanker semi-trailers
HS code 871631 covers the classification of tanker trailers and tanker semi-trailers, which are essential components in the transportation of liquid and gaseous materials. These specialized vehicles play a crucial role in the global supply chain, facilitating the efficient movement of a wide range of products, from petroleum and chemicals to food-grade liquids and cryogenic gases. As a vital link in the logistics network, the tanker trailer and semi-trailer industry supports various industries, contributing to the overall economic development.
Production process
The production of tanker trailers and semi-trailers involves a series of specialized manufacturing processes. These vehicles are typically constructed using high-strength steel or aluminum alloy frames, which provide the necessary structural integrity to safely transport heavy and potentially hazardous loads. The tank or container component is carefully designed and fabricated to meet stringent safety standards, often incorporating features such as baffles, insulation, and specialized valves and fittings. The assembly process involves the integration of the chassis, suspension, braking systems, and other essential components to ensure the trailer's roadworthiness and compliance with relevant regulations.
Production inputs
The production of tanker trailers and semi-trailers requires a range of raw materials, machinery, and specialized components. Key inputs include high-quality steel or aluminum alloy for the frame and tank construction, as well as specialized valves, fittings, and accessories to ensure the safe and efficient handling of the transported materials. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as welding machines, cutting tools, and precision assembly lines, to ensure the consistent quality and reliability of the final products.
Production outputs
Tanker trailers and semi-trailers produced under HS code 871631 are primarily used to transport a wide variety of liquid and gaseous materials, including 271000 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude, 280110 Hydrogen, 290110 Saturated acyclic hydrocarbons, and 220110 Mineral waters and aerated waters. These specialized vehicles are essential for the distribution and logistics of various industries, such as the oil and gas, chemical, and food and beverage sectors, among others. The outputs of this industry are closely linked to the demand for safe and efficient transportation of hazardous and sensitive materials.
