Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), erasers, of non-cellular rubber

HS v2017 Code: 401692

About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), erasers, of non-cellular rubber

HS code 401692 covers a diverse range of vulcanized rubber products, excluding hard rubber, that are not made from cellular rubber. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and consumer goods sectors, providing essential components and materials for a wide array of applications. From seals and gaskets to erasers and other everyday items, the products under this code contribute significantly to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the goods covered by HS code 401692 typically involves the vulcanization of natural or synthetic rubber. This process involves the cross-linking of rubber molecules, which enhances the material's strength, durability, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and other environmental factors. Manufacturers may employ various techniques, such as compression molding, injection molding, or extrusion, to shape the vulcanized rubber into the desired forms and products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 401692 include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various additives and reinforcing agents, such as carbon black, silica, and other fillers. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and equipment, including mixing machines, extruders, and molding presses, to transform the raw materials into the final products.

Production outputs

The goods classified under HS code 401692 encompass a diverse range of vulcanized rubber products, including seals, gaskets, washers, and other industrial components. These outputs are often consumed by industries such as 870000 Vehicles, 840000 Machinery, and 850000 Electrical machinery, where they are used to ensure the proper functioning and sealing of various systems and assemblies.

Revisions to 401692
