About plastics; tubes, pipes and hoses thereof, other than those of item no. 3917.31, not reinforced or otherwise combined with other materials, without fittings

HS code 391732 covers a crucial segment of the plastics industry, encompassing the production of tubes, pipes, and hoses that are not reinforced or combined with other materials. These plastic products are widely used across various industries, from construction and plumbing to automotive and manufacturing, making them an integral part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses under HS code 391732 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 these items, ensuring a steady supply to meet the demands of various industries.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of items under HS code 391732 include thermoplastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These raw materials are supplemented by specialized machinery, including extruders, cooling tanks, and cutting equipment, which are essential for the efficient and high-quality manufacturing of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 391732 are plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses that are used in a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 441600 Construction, 870000 Automotive, and 842100 Manufacturing, where they are used for various purposes, including fluid transportation, insulation, and structural support.
