About rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on construction, mining or industrial handling vehicles and machines

HS code 401180 covers the import and export of new pneumatic rubber tires designed for use on construction, mining, or industrial handling vehicles and machines. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the infrastructure, mining, and heavy equipment sectors, which are essential for economic development and growth. The demand for these specialized tires is closely tied to the performance and expansion of these key industries.

Production process

The production of tires covered under HS code 401180 involves a complex process of mixing, extruding, and molding rubber compounds. Manufacturers blend natural and synthetic rubber, along with various additives, to create a durable and resilient tire compound. The compound is then extruded into sheets and cut into tire shapes, which are then formed and vulcanized under heat and pressure to create the final tire product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of tires under HS code 401180 include natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, silica, and various chemical additives. Specialized machinery, such as tire-building machines and tire-curing presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the equipment and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 401180 is new pneumatic rubber tires designed for use on construction, mining, or industrial handling vehicles and machines. These tires are essential for the operation and maintenance of heavy equipment and machinery used in infrastructure development, mining, and other industrial applications. The output of this industry may be consumed by manufacturers of 842952 Machinery for earth, stone, ores, etc. and 842959 Machinery for earth, stone, ores, etc., as well as other industries that rely on specialized heavy-duty equipment.
