HS v2017 Code: 392321

About ethylene polymers; sacks and bags (including cones), for the conveyance or packing of goods

HS code 392321 covers the production of ethylene polymer sacks, bags, and cones used for the conveyance or packing of goods. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential packaging solutions for a wide range of products across various industries. As a key component of the plastics manufacturing sector, the 392321 industry contributes significantly to the broader economy, supporting international trade and logistics.

Production process

The production of ethylene polymer sacks, bags, and cones typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw ethylene polymer resin is melted and extruded into thin plastic films or sheets. These films are then cut, folded, and sealed to form the desired bag or sack shapes. Specialized machinery is used to automate the cutting, folding, and sealing processes, ensuring consistent quality and high production efficiency.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 392321 industry include ethylene polymer resins, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). These raw materials are sourced from the 390110 Ethylene polymers, linear, in primary forms and 390210 Polypropylene, in primary forms industries. Additionally, the industry relies on various machinery and equipment, such as extruders, cutters, and sealers, to facilitate the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 392321 industry are sacks, bags, and cones made from ethylene polymers, which are used for the conveyance or packing of goods. These products are widely used in industries such as 460211 Sacks and bags, of jute or of other textile bast fibers, 481930 Sacks and bags, of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers, and 392329 Sacks and bags, of plastics, other than ethylene polymers, where they serve as essential packaging solutions.
