About modelling pastes, including those for children; dental wax, impression compounds, in sets or packings for retail sale or in plates and similar forms; dentistry preparations with plaster base
HS code 3407 covers a diverse range of products used in various industries, particularly dentistry and arts and crafts. These modelling pastes, dental waxes, and impression compounds play a crucial role in dental procedures, artistic endeavours, and children's creative activities. As an integral part of the broader chemical industry, this classification code represents a significant segment of the global economy, with applications spanning healthcare, manufacturing, and consumer goods.
Production process
The production of goods under HS code 3407 typically involves a combination of mixing, blending, and formulation techniques. Manufacturers may use a variety of raw materials, such as waxes, resins, and plaster, to create the desired properties and characteristics of the final products. Precise temperature control, careful mixing, and quality control measures are essential to ensure the consistency and performance of these specialized materials.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 3407 include a range of raw materials, such as 2915 Acyclic monocarboxylic acids and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, 3824 (Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included), and 3506 Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, not elsewhere specified or included; products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding a net weight of 1 kg. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as mixing and blending machines, may be required for the production process.
Production outputs
The main outputs of HS code 3407 include a variety of products used in dentistry, arts and crafts, and children's activities. These include modelling pastes, dental waxes, impression compounds, and dentistry preparations with a plaster base. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by various other industries, such as 9018 Instruments and appliances used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary sciences, including scintigraphic apparatus, other electro-medical apparatus and sight-testing instruments, 9603 (Brooms, brushes (including brushes constituting parts of machines, appliances or vehicles), hand-operated mechanical floor sweepers, not motorised, mops and feather dusters; prepared knots and tufts for broom or brush making; paint pads and rollers; squeegees (other than roller squeegees)), and 9503 (Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys; dolls' carriages; dolls; other toys; reduced-size ("scale") models and similar recreational models, working or not; puzzles of all kinds).
