About plastics; tubes, pipes and hoses thereof, n.e.c. in item no. 3917.30

HS code 391739 covers a wide range of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses that are not specifically classified elsewhere. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development, by providing essential components for a diverse range of applications. The versatility and durability of these plastic products make them indispensable in modern economies, contributing to the efficient transportation of fluids, gases, and other materials.

Production process

The production of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses under HS code 391739 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 market demands. Additionally, various post-processing techniques, such as cutting, welding, and joining, may be employed to create specialized products tailored to specific applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses under HS code 391739 include thermoplastic resins, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These raw materials are essential for the extrusion process. Additionally, manufacturers may utilize various additives, such as stabilizers, colorants, and reinforcing agents, to enhance the performance and characteristics of the final products. Specialized machinery, including extruders, cutters, and welding equipment, are also crucial inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 391739 are a wide range of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses used in various applications. These products may be consumed by industries such as 392010 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of ethylene, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, 392020 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of propylene, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, and 392030 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of styrene, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, among others, which may utilize these components in their own manufacturing processes.
