HS v2017 Code: 400932

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

HS code 400932 covers a crucial segment of the rubber industry, encompassing vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are reinforced or combined with textile materials. These products find widespread application across various industries, from automotive and construction to manufacturing and infrastructure development. Their versatility and durability make them indispensable components in numerous supply chains, contributing significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of the goods described by HS code 400932 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber is vulcanised, a process that enhances its strength, elasticity, and resistance to heat and chemicals. The vulcanised rubber is then extruded or moulded into the desired shapes, such as tubes, pipes, and hoses. In many cases, these rubber components are reinforced or combined with textile materials, such as woven fabrics or braided cords, to improve their structural integrity and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 400932 include natural and synthetic rubber, textile materials (e.g., 500100 Silk, 520100 Cotton, 540101 Nylon), as well as various chemicals and additives used in the vulcanisation and compounding processes. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, moulding equipment, and reinforcement braiding machines, are essential for the manufacturing of these rubber products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 400932 are vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses, which are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. These products are commonly used in 870000 Vehicles, 840000 Machinery, 860000 Railway or tramway locomotives, rolling-stock and parts thereof, 300000 Pharmaceutical products, and 310000 Fertilisers industries, among others. The versatility and durability of these rubber components make them indispensable in various applications, from fluid and gas transportation to industrial equipment and infrastructure.
