About retreaded tyres; other than of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars), buses and lorries and aircraft

HS code 401219 covers the retreading of tyres, a critical process in the tyre industry. Retreading involves refurbishing used tyres by replacing the worn tread with a new one, extending the lifespan of the tyre and reducing waste. This industry plays a vital role in the broader transportation and logistics sectors, providing cost-effective and environmentally-friendly tyre solutions for a wide range of commercial and industrial vehicles.

Production process

The retreading process typically involves several key steps. First, the used tyre is thoroughly inspected and the old tread is removed. Any damage to the tyre casing is then repaired. Next, a new tread is applied and bonded to the tyre using heat and pressure. Finally, the retreaded tyre undergoes quality checks and testing before being ready for use.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the retreading industry include used tyre casings, which serve as the base for the retreading process. Specialized retreading materials such as rubber compounds, bonding agents, and curing equipment are also essential. Skilled labour and technical expertise are required to ensure a high-quality retreading outcome.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 401219 is retreaded tyres, which can be used on a variety of commercial and industrial vehicles, including 871200 lorries, 871300 buses, and 880240 aircraft. These retreaded tyres provide a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to purchasing new tyres, benefiting businesses and the environment.
