About plastics; tubes, pipes and hoses thereof, other than those of item no. 3917.31, not reinforced or otherwise combined with other materials, with fittings

HS code 391733 covers a crucial segment of the plastics industry, encompassing the production of tubes, pipes, and hoses made from various plastic materials. These products play a vital role in a wide range of industries, from construction and infrastructure to manufacturing and transportation, making them an essential component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses under HS code 391733 typically involves extrusion, a process where molten plastic is forced through a die to create the desired shape and size. This process is often combined with additional steps, such as cooling, cutting, and finishing, to ensure the final products meet the required specifications and quality standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of items under HS code 391733 include various types of plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Additionally, manufacturers may utilize specialized additives, colorants, and other materials to enhance the properties and performance of the final products. Machinery and equipment, such as extruders, cooling systems, and cutting tools, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 391733 are plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses, which are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. These products may be used in 441600 Construction, 842139 Machinery, 870000 Vehicles, and 950000 Miscellaneous manufactured articles, among others, making them a crucial component in the global supply chain.
