About rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on agricultural or forestry vehicles and machines

HS code 401170 covers the production of new pneumatic rubber tires designed for use on agricultural or forestry vehicles and machinery. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the agricultural and forestry sectors, providing essential components for the vehicles and equipment used in these industries. The production and trade of these specialized tires are an important part of the broader rubber manufacturing and automotive supply chains.

Production process

The production of 401170 tires involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials such as natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, and various chemical additives 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 in a mold under heat and pressure to vulcanize the rubber and give the tire its final shape and properties. Finally, the tire undergoes inspection and testing before being prepared for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 401170 tires include natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, silica, oils, and various chemical additives. Specialized tire-making machinery, such as mixers, extruders, and curing presses, are also essential to the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of supporting industries, including petrochemicals, transportation, and logistics, to source the necessary raw materials and deliver the finished products to market.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 401170 industry is new pneumatic rubber tires designed for use on agricultural and forestry vehicles and equipment. These tires are essential components for a wide range of machinery, including tractors, harvesters, forestry skidders, and other specialized vehicles. The output of this industry is consumed by manufacturers of 842481 Agricultural or forestry machinery as well as 870120 Road tractors for semi-trailers and 870190 Other vehicles for the transport of goods.
