Moulds; for mineral materials

HS v2017 Code: 848060

About moulds; for mineral materials

hs code 848060 covers the production of moulds used in the manufacturing of mineral-based products. These moulds play a crucial role in the creation of a wide range of construction materials, ceramics, and other mineral-based items that are essential for various industries. The demand for these moulds is closely tied to the overall health of the construction, mining, and manufacturing sectors, making this code an important indicator of economic activity.

Production process

The production of moulds for mineral materials typically involves a combination of metalworking, casting, and precision engineering techniques. Manufacturers may use materials such as steel, aluminum, or specialized alloys to create the mould cavities and frames. The moulds are often designed and engineered to withstand high temperatures, pressures, and abrasive conditions encountered during the production of mineral-based products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of moulds under hs code 848060 include raw materials such as metals, specialized alloys, and various tools and equipment used in metalworking and precision engineering. Manufacturers may also require access to advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software, computer numerical control (CNC) machines, and other specialized machinery to ensure the accurate and efficient production of these moulds.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the production of moulds used in the manufacturing of mineral-based products, such as 681010 Tiles, ceramic, unglazed and glazed, 680221 (Marble, travertine and alabaster, merely cut, by sawing or otherwise, into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape), and 681011 Building blocks and bricks of cement, concrete or artificial stone. These moulds are then supplied to various industries, including construction, mining, and manufacturing, where they are used to shape and form the final mineral-based products.
