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

HS code 400932 covers a crucial segment of the rubber industry, encompassing vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are reinforced or combined with textile materials. These products play a vital role in a wide range of industries, from automotive and construction to manufacturing and infrastructure. The global demand for these versatile rubber products continues to grow, driven by factors such as urbanization, industrial development, and the need for durable, flexible, and reliable fluid transportation solutions.

Production process

The production of the goods covered by HS code 400932 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw rubber material is compounded with various additives, such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents, to achieve the desired properties. The compound is then extruded or molded into the desired shape, such as tubing or hoses. Finally, the rubber products are reinforced with textile materials, such as woven or braided fabrics, to enhance their strength and durability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 400932 include natural and synthetic rubber, textile materials (e.g., polyester, nylon, or cotton), and various chemical additives. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, molding equipment, and braiding machines, 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 the industry covered by HS code 400932 are vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses, which are used in a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 870000 Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, 842100 Machinery for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature, and 460000 Manufactures of straw, of esparto or of other plaiting materials; basketware and wickerwork, among others. The versatility and durability of these rubber products make them essential components in various industrial and infrastructure projects.
