Moulds; for metal or metal carbides, injection or compression types

HS v2017 Code: 848041

About moulds; for metal or metal carbides, injection or compression types

hs code 848041 covers the production of moulds used for the injection or compression molding of metal and metal carbide parts. These specialized tools are essential components in the manufacturing of a wide range of metal products, from automotive parts to household appliances. The moulds industry plays a crucial role in the broader metal fabrication and machinery sectors, enabling the cost-effective and efficient mass production of complex metal components.

Production process

The production of moulds for metal injection or compression molding typically involves a multi-step process. First, the mould design is carefully engineered using computer-aided design (CAD) software to ensure the desired shape and features. The mould is then fabricated, often using computer numerical control (CNC) machining techniques, to precise specifications. Finally, the mould is heat-treated and polished to achieve the necessary surface finish and durability for high-volume production.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 848041 moulds include high-quality tool steel, such as H13 or P20 steel, as well as specialized cutting tools, grinding equipment, and precision measurement instruments. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software, as well as skilled technicians and engineers to design, fabricate, and maintain the moulds.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 848041 is the production of moulds used for the injection or compression molding of metal and metal carbide parts. These moulds are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 841510 Refrigerators, 842211 Dish washing machines, 870323 Motor cars and other motor vehicles, and 848180 Machinery parts, among others.
