About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), inflatable articles (other than boat or dock fenders), of non-cellular rubber

HS code 401695 covers a diverse range of vulcanized rubber products, excluding hard rubber and inflatable boat/dock fenders. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and transportation sectors, providing essential components and materials for a wide array of applications. From automotive parts to consumer goods, the products under this code contribute significantly to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the articles covered by HS code 401695 typically involves the vulcanization of 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 use various techniques, such as compression molding, injection molding, or extrusion, to shape the vulcanized rubber into the desired forms and articles.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the articles under HS code 401695 include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various additives and reinforcing agents, such as carbon black, silica, and fibers. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and equipment, including mixing mills, extruders, and molding presses, to transform the raw materials into the final products.

Production outputs

The articles produced under HS code 401695 are used in a wide range of applications, including 401693 Rubber; vulcanised, other than hard rubber, plates, sheets, strip, rods and profile shapes, 401699 Rubber; vulcanised, other than hard rubber, articles n.e.c. in heading no. 4016, and 401110 (Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars)). These products are essential components in the automotive, industrial, and consumer goods industries, contributing to the overall efficiency and functionality of various products and systems.
