Moulds; for glass

HS v2017 Code: 848050

About moulds; for glass

hs code 848050 covers the production of moulds used in the manufacture of glass products. Glass moulds are essential components in the glass industry, enabling the creation of a wide range of glass items, from containers and tableware to architectural glass and specialty products. These moulds play a crucial role in shaping the final form and appearance of glass, making them an integral part of the broader glass manufacturing ecosystem.

Production process

The production of glass moulds typically involves a combination of metalworking techniques, such as casting, machining, and polishing. Mould makers often use high-quality steel alloys or other durable materials to ensure the mould's longevity and ability to withstand the high temperatures and pressures involved in glass production. The mould design and fabrication process is highly specialized, requiring skilled technicians and precise engineering to create the intricate shapes and features required for different glass products.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of glass moulds include raw materials such as steel, aluminum, or other metal alloys, as well as specialized tools and equipment for metalworking, such as CNC machines, casting equipment, and polishing tools. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, engineering expertise, and advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure the quality and precision of the final mould products.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 848050 is the glass moulds themselves, which are then used in the production of a wide range of glass products, including 701000 Glass and glassware, 702000 Glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar purposes, and 703000 Other articles of glass. These glass products are then consumed by various industries, such as packaging, construction, and consumer goods, making the glass mould industry an essential component of the broader glass manufacturing supply chain.
