About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), cellular rubber, (other than in plates, sheets or strip)

HS code 400819 covers a range of vulcanized cellular rubber products, excluding those in the form of plates, sheets, or strips. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader rubber and plastics sector, providing essential materials for a wide array of applications across various industries, from automotive to construction and beyond. The versatility and unique properties of these cellular rubber products make them indispensable in many manufacturing processes and end-user products.

Production process

The production of the goods covered by HS code 400819 typically involves the vulcanization of rubber compounds, which are then foamed or expanded to create the desired cellular structure. This process often includes the use of specialized machinery and equipment, such as extruders, molding presses, and curing ovens, to ensure the consistent quality and performance of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 400819 goods include natural and synthetic rubber compounds, as well as various additives and chemicals used in the vulcanization and foaming processes. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as 845610 Machinery for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials, to ensure efficient and high-quality production.

Production outputs

The products covered by HS code 400819 are widely used in a variety of applications, including 401699 Other articles of vulcanized rubber, 401693 Gaskets, washers and other seals, and 401410 (Hygienic or pharmaceutical articles (including teats), of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber). These cellular rubber goods are often incorporated into final products across industries such as automotive, construction, and consumer goods, making them an essential component in many manufacturing supply chains.
