HS v2022 Code: 391732

About plastics; tubes, pipes and hoses thereof, other than those of item no. 3917.31, not reinforced or otherwise combined with other materials, without fittings

HS code 391732 covers a wide range of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses that are not reinforced or combined with other materials, and do not have fittings. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. These products are essential for the transportation and distribution of fluids, gases, and other materials, making them a vital component of many supply chains across the global economy.

Production process

The production of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses under HS code 391732 typically involves extrusion, a process where molten plastic is forced through a die to create the desired shape and size. This process allows for the continuous production of these items, ensuring a steady supply to meet market demands. Manufacturers may also employ additional techniques, such as cutting, welding, or joining, to create specific product configurations or meet customer specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses under HS code 391732 include various types of plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery, including extruders, cutters, and welding equipment, to transform these raw materials into the final products. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 391732 are plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses that are used in a wide range of applications. These products may be consumed by industries such as 392010 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of ethylene, not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, 392020 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of propylene, not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, and 392030 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of styrene, not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, which may use these items as components or for packaging and distribution purposes.
