HS v2017 Code: 3925

About plastics; builders' wares n.e.c. or included

HS code 3925 covers a diverse range of plastic products used in the construction and building industry. These 'builders' wares' play a crucial role in the infrastructure and development of modern societies, providing essential materials for everything from residential homes to commercial skyscrapers. As a key component of the broader plastics industry, this code represents a significant segment of the global economy, with widespread applications across numerous sectors.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 3925 typically involves various plastic processing techniques, such as injection molding, extrusion, and thermoforming. These methods allow for the efficient and cost-effective manufacture of a wide array of plastic building materials, including pipes, fittings, window frames, doors, and other structural components. The specific production processes may vary depending on the type of plastic used and the desired product characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 3925 include various types of plastic resins, such as 3901 Polymers of ethylene, 3902 Polymers of propylene, and 3904 Polymers of vinyl chloride. Additionally, manufacturers may utilize specialized additives, pigments, and reinforcing materials to enhance the properties and performance of the final products. Machinery and equipment for plastic processing, such as extruders, injection molding machines, and thermoforming presses, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The diverse range of products covered by HS code 3925 includes a variety of plastic building materials, such as doors, windows, shutters, blinds, and related articles. These outputs are often consumed by the construction industry, as well as by manufacturers of 9403 Furniture; other than for office, kitchen, and medical use, 8708 Parts and accessories for motor vehicles, and 8302 Base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork, saddlery, trunks, chests, caskets or the like; base metal hat-racks, hat-pegs, brackets and similar fixtures; castors with mountings of base metal, among others.
