HS v2017 Code: 400922

About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined only with metal, with fittings

HS code 400922 covers a crucial segment of the rubber industry, encompassing vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are reinforced or combined with metal. These products play a vital role in a wide range of industries, from automotive and construction to manufacturing and infrastructure. The global demand for these versatile rubber components continues to grow, driven by factors such as increasing industrialization, rising infrastructure development, and the need for durable, high-performance fluid transfer solutions.

Production process

The production of the goods covered by HS code 400922 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber materials are compounded with various additives, such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents, to achieve the desired properties. The rubber compound is then extruded or molded into the desired shape, such as tubing or hoses. In the case of reinforced products, additional materials, such as metal wires or fabrics, are incorporated during the manufacturing process to enhance the strength and durability of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 400922 include natural and synthetic rubber, metal reinforcements (e.g., wires, fabrics), and various chemical additives. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, molding equipment, and vulcanizing presses, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and quality of these raw materials and equipment play a crucial role in the industry's ability to meet the growing demand for high-performance rubber tubing, piping, and hoses.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 400922 are vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses, which are used in a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 870000 Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, 842000 Machinery and mechanical appliances, and 460000 Articles of straw, of esparto or of other plaiting materials; basketware and wickerwork, among others. The versatility and durability of these rubber components make them essential for various fluid transfer, hose, and piping systems in diverse sectors, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.
