About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), moulded rubber mats and mats of non-rectangular shape made by cutting from the piece, of cellular rubber

HS code 401610 covers a diverse range of vulcanized rubber products, including moulded rubber mats and non-rectangular mats made by cutting from the piece. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from construction and transportation to consumer goods and industrial applications. The global demand for these versatile rubber items continues to grow, driven by factors such as infrastructure development, automotive manufacturing, and the increasing use of rubber in everyday products.

Production process

The production of the goods covered under HS code 401610 typically involves a multi-step process of vulcanization. This process transforms raw rubber into a more durable and resilient material through the addition of sulfur and other chemicals. Moulded rubber mats are then formed by pouring the vulcanized rubber into specific molds, while non-rectangular mats are cut from larger sheets of cellular rubber. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as automated moulding and precision cutting, ensure consistent quality and efficient production.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 401610 include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various chemical additives such as sulfur, accelerators, and fillers. Specialized machinery, such as mixing equipment, moulding presses, and cutting tools, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The products covered under HS code 401610 are primarily used as floor coverings, protective mats, and other rubber-based accessories in a wide range of industries. These items may be consumed by manufacturers of 940690 Furniture; parts for use in furniture production, 870899 Parts and accessories for motor vehicles for automotive applications, or 940420 Mattresses; mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings for bedding and upholstery. The versatility of these vulcanized rubber products ensures their widespread use across various sectors of the economy.
