Moulds; for rubber or plastics, injection or compression types

HS v2017 Code: 848071

About moulds; for rubber or plastics, injection or compression types

hs code 848071 covers the production of moulds used for the injection or compression molding of rubber and plastic products. These moulds are essential components in the manufacturing of a wide range of consumer and industrial goods, from automotive parts to household items. The mould industry plays a crucial role in the broader plastics and rubber processing sectors, which are integral to many key industries within the global economy.

Production process

The production of moulds for rubber and plastic injection or compression molding typically involves a multi-step process. First, the mould design is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, taking into account the specific requirements of the end product. The mould is then fabricated, often using specialized machinery like CNC (computer numerical control) machining centers, to ensure precise dimensions and tolerances. Finally, the mould is tested and refined to ensure optimal performance during the molding process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of moulds covered under hs code 848071 include high-quality steel or aluminum alloys, which are the primary materials used in mould construction. Additionally, specialized software, cutting tools, and other precision machining equipment are essential for the design and fabrication of these moulds. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the necessary machinery and adhering to strict quality control standards.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 848071 is the production of moulds for the injection or compression molding of rubber and plastic products. These moulds are then consumed by manufacturers in a wide range of industries, including 870323 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, 392010 Other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, and 401120 New pneumatic tyres, of rubber, among others.
