HS v2017 Code: 848020

About mould bases; for metal, metal carbides, glass, mineral materials, rubber or plastics

hs code 848020 covers the production of mould bases, which are essential components in the manufacturing of a wide range of products across various industries. These mould bases serve as the foundation for the creation of complex shapes and forms, enabling the efficient and precise production of items made from materials such as metal, glass, rubber, and plastics. The importance of this industry lies in its ability to support the development of innovative products and technologies, contributing to the overall growth and competitiveness of the global economy.

Production process

The production of mould bases typically involves a combination of precision machining, casting, and specialized tooling techniques. Manufacturers may utilize computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software to create detailed models and program the necessary machining operations. The mould bases are then fabricated using a variety of metalworking processes, including milling, turning, and grinding, to ensure the desired shape, size, and surface finish. In some cases, the mould bases may also undergo heat treatment or other finishing processes to enhance their durability and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of mould bases include a variety of raw materials, such as metals (e.g., steel, aluminum, and alloys), mineral materials (e.g., ceramics and composites), and specialized polymers. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced machinery and tooling, including CNC (computer numerical control) machines, precision measuring instruments, and specialized mould-making equipment. The availability of skilled technicians and engineers who can operate these sophisticated production systems is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the mould bases industry is, of course, the mould bases themselves, which are then used in the production of a wide range of consumer and industrial products. These mould bases may be consumed by industries such as 870000 Vehicles, 940000 Furniture, 850000 Electrical machinery and equipment, and 390000 Plastics and articles thereof, among others. The versatility of mould bases allows them to be utilized in the manufacturing of a diverse array of goods, contributing to the overall efficiency and productivity of these downstream industries.
