About plastics; spools, cops, bobbins and similar supports, for the conveyance or packing of goods

HS code 392340 covers a diverse range of plastic products used for the conveyance and packaging of goods. These items, such as spools, cops, and bobbins, play a crucial role in various industries, including textiles, electronics, and manufacturing. As a key component in the global supply chain, the production and trade of these plastic supports contribute significantly to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of plastic spools, cops, and bobbins typically involves injection molding or extrusion techniques. Manufacturers use specialized machinery to melt and shape thermoplastic resins, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, into the desired forms. The molded or extruded parts may then undergo additional processing, such as trimming, drilling, or surface finishing, to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 392340 items include thermoplastic resins, molds or extrusion dies, and various auxiliary equipment like cooling systems and packaging materials. Manufacturers may also require specialized machinery, such as injection molding machines or extruders, to efficiently produce these plastic supports. The availability and cost of these raw materials and equipment can significantly impact the overall production process and competitiveness of the industry.

Production outputs

The plastic spools, cops, and bobbins classified under HS code 392340 are primarily used as supports for the conveyance or packing of goods, such as textiles, cables, and other industrial products. These items may be consumed by industries covered under related HS codes, including 5007 Woven fabrics of silk or of silk waste, 5408 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, and 8544 Insulated wire, cable and other insulated electric conductors; optical fiber cables, among others.
