About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, not reinforced or otherwise combined with other materials, without fittings

HS code 400911 covers the import and export of vulcanized rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are not reinforced or combined with other materials. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including automotive, construction, and industrial manufacturing. The demand for these products is driven by their versatility, durability, and ability to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions, making them essential components in a diverse array of applications.

Production process

The production of vulcanized rubber tubing, piping, and hoses involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber materials are compounded with various additives, such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents. The mixture is then extruded or molded into the desired shape and size. The formed products are then subjected to a vulcanization process, where heat and pressure are applied to cross-link the rubber molecules, enhancing their strength, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 400911 products include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various chemical additives such as sulfur, accelerators, and antioxidants. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, molding equipment, and vulcanization presses, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and quality of these raw materials and equipment play a crucial role in the industry's ability to meet the growing demand for these versatile rubber products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 400911 are vulcanized rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are not reinforced or combined with other materials. These products are widely used in a variety of industries, including 401000 Rubber; tubes, pipes and hoses, reinforced or combined with other materials, 401700 Rubber; articles thereof, n.e.c. in chapter 40, and 870899 Motor vehicles; parts and accessories, n.e.c. in chapter 87.
