HS v2022 Code: 391733

About plastics; tubes, pipes and hoses thereof, other than those of item no. 3917.31, not reinforced or otherwise combined with other materials, with fittings

HS code 391733 covers a wide range of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses that are not reinforced or combined with other materials, but have fittings attached. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader plastics and construction sectors, providing essential components for a variety of applications, from plumbing and irrigation systems to industrial equipment and transportation infrastructure.

Production process

The production of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses under HS code 391733 typically involves extrusion, a process where molten plastic is forced through a die to create the desired shape and size. This is often followed by additional steps, such as cutting the extruded material to length, attaching fittings, and in some cases, further processing to add surface treatments or coatings.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry include various types of plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), as well as specialized additives and fillers to enhance the properties of the final products. Additionally, the industry relies on machinery and equipment for the extrusion and subsequent processing of the plastic materials.

Production outputs

The plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses produced under HS code 391733 are used in a wide range of applications, including 442120 Plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning equipment, 481190 Other paper and paperboard containers, and 870323 Motor vehicles with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc. These products are often consumed by industries such as construction, manufacturing, and transportation.
