About rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on buses or lorries

HS code 401120 covers the import and export of new pneumatic rubber tires designed for use on buses and lorries (trucks). This industry plays a crucial role in the transportation and logistics sectors, providing essential components for the vehicles that move goods and people around the world. As a key part of the broader rubber manufacturing industry, the production and trade of these tires contribute significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of 401120 tires involves several key steps. First, raw materials such as natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, and various chemicals are mixed and processed into tire compounds. These compounds are then shaped into the tire's basic structure, including the bead, carcass, and tread. The tire is then cured under heat and pressure to vulcanize the rubber, giving it the necessary strength, flexibility, and durability. Finally, the tire undergoes various finishing processes, such as trimming, inspection, and packaging, before being ready for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 401120 tires include natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, silica, oils, and various chemicals used in the compounding and curing processes. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as tire-building machines, curing presses, and inspection equipment, are essential for the manufacturing of these tires. The availability and quality of these raw materials and production equipment are crucial factors in the industry's ability to meet the demand for 401120 Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on buses or lorries.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 401120 industry is, of course, new pneumatic rubber tires for buses and lorries. These tires are essential components for the 870120 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods and 870210 (Public-transport type passenger motor vehicles, with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel)) industries, as well as the broader transportation and logistics sectors. The tires produced under this HS code may also be used on other large commercial vehicles, such as construction equipment and agricultural machinery.
