About new pneumatic tyres, of rubber

HS code 4011 covers the import and export of new pneumatic tires made of rubber. This industry is a critical component of the broader automotive and transportation sectors, providing essential components for vehicles ranging from passenger cars to heavy machinery. Pneumatic tires play a vital role in the safe and efficient movement of goods and people around the world, making this industry a key driver of global trade and economic activity.

Production process

The production of new pneumatic tires involves a complex process that combines various raw materials, specialized machinery, and advanced manufacturing techniques. The main steps include mixing and compounding rubber compounds, shaping the tire components, building the tire structure, and curing the tire under heat and pressure to vulcanize the rubber and give it the desired properties.

Production inputs

The production of new pneumatic tires requires a range of raw materials, including natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, silica, oils, and various chemicals. Specialized machinery, such as tire-building machines, curing presses, and quality control equipment, are also essential inputs for this industry. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production equipment and ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 4011 industry is new pneumatic tires, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 8701 Vehicles for the transport of persons, 8702 Motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, 8703 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, 8704 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, and 8705 Special purpose motor vehicles. These tires are essential components that enable the safe and efficient operation of these vehicles, making the 4011 industry a crucial link in the global supply chain.
