Rubber; unvulcanised, (compounded other than with carbon black or silica), in primary forms, (other than plates, sheets, strip, solutions or dispersions)

HS v2017 Code: 400599

About rubber; unvulcanised, (compounded other than with carbon black or silica), in primary forms, (other than plates, sheets, strip, solutions or dispersions)

HS code 400599 covers a wide range of unvulcanized rubber products in primary forms, excluding those compounded with carbon black or silica. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader rubber and plastics sector, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of various rubber-based goods, from tires and automotive parts to consumer products and industrial applications.

Production process

The production of unvulcanized rubber compounds covered under HS code 400599 typically involves a series of mixing, blending, and compounding processes. Manufacturers may use techniques such as open-mill mixing, internal batch mixing, or continuous compounding to combine the necessary ingredients, including natural or synthetic rubber, additives, and other chemical components, to achieve the desired properties and characteristics of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of unvulcanized rubber compounds under HS code 400599 include natural and synthetic rubber, such as 400110 Natural rubber, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip, 400122 (Technically specified natural rubber (TSNR)), and various types of synthetic rubber, as well as a range of chemical additives, processing aids, and specialized machinery for mixing, extruding, and shaping the rubber compounds.

Production outputs

The unvulcanized rubber compounds produced under HS code 400599 serve as essential raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries. These compounds may be further processed and transformed into a variety of rubber-based products, including 401110 New pneumatic tyres, of rubber, 401120 Inner tubes, of rubber, 401310 Inner tubes, of rubber, and other rubber goods used in the automotive, construction, consumer, and industrial sectors.
