HS v2017 Code: 848049

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

hs code 848049 covers the production of moulds used in the manufacturing of metal or metal carbide products, excluding injection or compression molding types. These specialized moulds play a crucial role in the metal fabrication industry, enabling the creation of complex and intricate metal components that are essential for a wide range of applications, from automotive parts to industrial machinery. The global demand for these moulds is driven by the continued growth of the manufacturing sector, particularly in emerging economies, as well as the increasing need for customized and high-precision metal components.

Production process

The production of moulds covered under hs code 848049 typically involves a combination of precision machining, casting, and finishing techniques. Manufacturers may use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create the mould designs, which are then translated into physical forms through computer numerical control (CNC) machining or other advanced manufacturing processes. The moulds are often made from high-quality tool steels or other durable materials to withstand the rigors of the metal casting or forming process, ensuring consistent and accurate results.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of moulds under hs code 848049 include high-quality tool steels, such as D2 or H13 steel, as well as specialized cutting tools, grinding equipment, and precision measurement instruments. Manufacturers may also rely on advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software and computer numerical control (CNC) machines to ensure the accurate and efficient production of these specialized moulds. Additionally, skilled technicians and engineers are essential for the design, fabrication, and quality control of these critical components.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 848049 is the production of moulds used in the manufacturing of metal or metal carbide products, excluding injection or compression molding types. These moulds are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 840120 Machinery for the extraction or preparation of animal or fixed vegetable fats or oils, 842240 Machinery for the industrial preparation or manufacture of food or drink, and 848120 Valves for oleohydraulic or pneumatic transmissions, among others. The high-precision and customized nature of these moulds make them essential for the production of a diverse array of metal-based products and components.
