HS v2022 Code: 3924
About tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics
HS code 3924 covers a diverse range of plastic-based household and personal care items, including tableware, kitchenware, and various other articles for domestic use. This industry plays a crucial role in the global consumer goods market, providing affordable and durable solutions for everyday household needs. As plastic continues to be a versatile and cost-effective material, the 3924 industry has become an integral part of the broader manufacturing and retail sectors.
Production process
The production of 3924 items typically involves various plastic molding techniques, such as injection molding, blow molding, and thermoforming. These processes allow manufacturers to create a wide array of shapes and designs, from simple plates and cups to more complex containers and organizers. Automation and advanced machinery have also enabled efficient mass production to meet the high demand for these everyday household items.
Production inputs
The 3924 industry relies on a steady supply of plastic resins, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS), as the primary raw materials. Additionally, manufacturers may utilize various additives, such as colorants, stabilizers, and reinforcing agents, to enhance the properties and appearance of the final products. Specialized production equipment, including injection molding machines, blow molding units, and thermoforming presses, are also essential inputs for this industry.
Production outputs
The 3924 industry produces a wide range of tableware, kitchenware, and other household articles, such as plates, bowls, cups, utensils, food storage containers, and cleaning implements. These outputs are typically consumed by 4202 Luggage, handbags and the like, travel, sports and similar containers, 4419 Tableware and kitchenware, of wood, and 6911 Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of porcelain or china industries, as well as by individual consumers through retail channels.
