HS v2022 Code: 391739

About plastics; tubes, pipes and hoses thereof, n.e.c. in item no. 3917.30

HS code 391739 covers a wide range of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses that are not classified elsewhere in the 3917.30 category. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development, by providing essential components for the transportation and distribution of fluids, gases, and other materials. The versatility and durability of these plastic products make them an indispensable part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses under HS code 391739 typically involves a combination of extrusion and molding techniques. Extrusion is the primary method, where molten plastic is forced through a die to create the desired shape and size. Depending on the specific application, additional processes such as cutting, welding, or reinforcement may be applied to the extruded products to enhance their strength, flexibility, or other properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of plastic tubes, pipes, and hoses under HS code 391739 include various types of plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These raw materials are often sourced from the 390110 Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms and 390210 Polymers of propylene or of other olefins, in primary forms industries. Additionally, specialized machinery, including extruders, molds, and cutting equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 391739 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 for packaging, 392020 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of propylene for automotive components, and 392330 Plastics; carboys, bottles, flasks and similar articles for the transportation and storage of liquids and gases.
