About plastics; tubes, pipes and hoses thereof, rigid, of plastics n.e.c. in heading no. 3917

HS code 391729 covers the import and export of rigid plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses that are not classified elsewhere in heading 3917. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader plastics and construction sectors, providing essential components for a wide range of applications, from plumbing and infrastructure to industrial equipment and consumer goods.

Production process

The production of rigid plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses typically involves extrusion, a process where molten plastic is forced through a die to create the desired shape and size. This process allows for the continuous production of consistent, high-quality products. Additional steps may include cutting, joining, and finishing the extruded components to meet specific requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry include various types of plastic resins, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP). Specialized machinery, such as extruders, cooling tanks, and cutting equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are required to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The rigid plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses produced under HS code 391729 are used in a wide range of applications, including 441600 Construction, 842199 Industrial machinery, and 392010 Plastic products. These components are often consumed by industries that require durable, corrosion-resistant, and versatile piping solutions, such as 230220 Plumbing, 230320 Heating and cooling, and 230400 Water supply. The outputs of this industry are also used in the manufacturing of various consumer goods, such as 392010 Plastic products.
