HS v2022 Code: 400922

About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined only with metal, with fittings

HS code 400922 covers a crucial segment of the rubber industry, focusing on vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are reinforced or combined with metal. These products play a vital role in a wide range of industries, from automotive and construction to manufacturing and infrastructure. As a versatile and durable material, vulcanised rubber is essential for applications that require reliable, high-performance fluid and gas transportation systems.

Production process

The production of HS code 400922 items typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber materials, such as natural or synthetic rubber, are compounded with various additives and reinforcing agents, such as carbon black or silica. The mixture is then extruded or molded into the desired shape, such as tubing or hoses. Next, the rubber components are vulcanised, a process that cross-links the polymer chains, enhancing the material's strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion. Finally, the vulcanised rubber components may be reinforced with metal braiding or other materials, depending on the specific application requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 400922 items include raw rubber materials, such as natural rubber or synthetic rubber compounds, as well as various additives and reinforcing agents. Machinery and equipment used in the extrusion, molding, and vulcanisation processes are also essential inputs. Additionally, metal components, such as fittings and braiding, may be required for the reinforcement and assembly of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 400922 are vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are reinforced or combined with metal. These products are widely used in a variety of industries, including 870000 Vehicles, 840000 Machinery, 860000 (Railway or tramway locomotives, rolling-stock and parts thereof; railway or tramway track fixtures and fittings and parts thereof; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) traffic signalling equipment of all kinds), and 850000 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles. The versatility and durability of these rubber products make them essential components in a wide range of industrial and infrastructure applications.
