Rubber; mixtures of natural and synthetic rubbers of heading no. 4001 and 4002, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS v2017 Code: 400280

About rubber; mixtures of natural and synthetic rubbers of heading no. 4001 and 4002, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 400280 covers a diverse range of rubber products, including mixtures of natural and synthetic rubbers. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential materials for a wide array of industries, from automotive to construction. The versatility and durability of these rubber products make them indispensable in modern manufacturing and infrastructure development.

Production process

The production of rubber products under HS code 400280 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, which may include natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and various additives, are thoroughly mixed and blended to achieve the desired properties. The mixture is then extruded or molded into the desired shape, such as sheets, plates, or strips. Depending on the specific application, the rubber may undergo additional processing, such as vulcanization, to enhance its strength and resilience.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 400280 rubber products include 4001 Natural rubber, balata, gutta-percha, guayule, chicle and similar natural gums, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip, 4002 Synthetic rubber and factice derived from oils, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip, and various additives such as fillers, plasticizers, and vulcanizing agents. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as mixers, extruders, and molding machines, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The rubber products covered under HS code 400280 are used in a wide range of applications, including the production of tires, hoses, seals, gaskets, and other industrial components. These rubber products may be further processed or incorporated into the manufacturing of goods classified under other HS codes, such as 4011 New pneumatic tyres, of rubber, 4016 Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber, and 8708 Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8707.
