Plastics; builders' ware, reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers of a capacity exceeding 300 litres

HS code 392510 covers a diverse range of plastic products used extensively in the construction and industrial sectors. These large-scale plastic containers, reservoirs, and tanks play a crucial role in storing, transporting, and managing various liquids, gases, and other materials. This industry is a vital component of the broader plastics manufacturing sector, contributing to the efficient infrastructure and logistics that underpin many economic activities.

The production of the items classified under HS code 392510 typically involves various plastic molding techniques, such as injection molding, blow molding, and rotational molding. These processes allow for the creation of large, durable, and customized plastic containers that can withstand the demands of industrial and construction applications. Skilled technicians and engineers work to design and manufacture these products to meet specific size, strength, and functionality requirements.

The main inputs for the production of HS code 392510 items include a range of plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These raw materials are sourced from the 390110 Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms and 390210 Polymers of propylene or of other olefins, in primary forms industries. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized molds, machinery, and energy sources to facilitate the manufacturing process.

The primary outputs of the HS code 392510 industry are large-scale plastic containers, reservoirs, tanks, and similar structures used in a variety of applications. These products are often consumed by the 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, n.e.s. industry for water treatment and storage, the 731010 Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, of iron or steel, of a capacity not exceeding 300 l, whether or not lined or heat-insulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment industry for industrial storage and transportation, and the 732490 Sanitary ware, and parts thereof, of iron or steel industry for water storage and distribution.
