About new pneumatic tyres, of rubber

HS code 4011 covers the import and export of new pneumatic rubber tires, a critical component in the global transportation and logistics industries. These tires are essential for a wide range of vehicles, from passenger cars and commercial trucks to heavy machinery and agricultural equipment. The demand for high-quality, durable tires is driven by the continuous growth of the automotive sector, as well as the need for reliable transportation infrastructure to support international trade and economic development.

Production process

The production of new pneumatic rubber tires involves a complex process that combines various raw materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. The key steps include the mixing of natural and synthetic rubber compounds, the shaping and molding of the tire components, and the curing or vulcanization process that gives the tire its final strength and flexibility. Automated machinery and precision engineering are crucial in ensuring the consistent quality and performance of these tires.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of new pneumatic rubber tires include natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, silica, and various chemical additives. Specialized machinery, such as tire-building machines, curing presses, and quality control equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and cost-effectiveness of these raw materials and production resources can significantly impact the global trade and competitiveness of the tire industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 4011 is new pneumatic rubber tires, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 8703 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, 8704 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, 8705 Special purpose motor vehicles, and 8716 Trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; parts thereof. The tire industry's ability to meet the evolving demands of these downstream sectors, in terms of size, performance, and sustainability, is crucial for maintaining a robust global supply chain.
