Rubber; mixtures of natural and synthetic rubbers of heading no. 4001 and 4002, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS v2022 Code: 400280

About rubber; mixtures of natural and synthetic rubbers of heading no. 4001 and 4002, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 400280 covers a diverse range of rubber products, including mixtures of natural and synthetic rubbers. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential materials for a wide array of industries, from automotive to construction. The versatility and durability of these rubber products make them indispensable in modern manufacturing and infrastructure development.

Production process

The production of rubber products under HS code 400280 typically involves a series of complex processes. Raw materials, such as natural and synthetic rubber, are carefully blended and compounded to achieve the desired properties. This is often followed by extrusion, molding, or calendering techniques to shape the rubber into primary forms, plates, sheets, or strips. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the production process to ensure the final products meet industry standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 400280 rubber products include 4001 Natural rubber, balata, gutta-percha, guayule, chicle and similar natural gums, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip and 4002 Synthetic rubber and factice derived from oils, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip. Additionally, various additives, such as fillers, vulcanizing agents, and processing aids, are often incorporated to enhance the properties of the final products. Specialized machinery and equipment, as well as skilled labor, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The rubber products covered under HS code 400280 are used in a wide range of applications, including the manufacturing of 4011 New pneumatic tyres, of rubber, 4013 Inner tubes, of rubber, and various industrial and consumer goods. These rubber materials may also be further processed and incorporated into products classified under other HS codes, such as 4005 Compounded rubber, unvulcanized, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip, 4008 Plates, sheets, strip, rods and profile shapes, of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber, and 4016 Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber.

Revisions to 400280

Classification codes are adjusted frequently. The code may have been revised or replaced between system versions. The table below shows the history (newest to oldest) of the code 400280. The most recent 1 version of this code (400280) is in the HS v2022 system (this version):
