About rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on aircraft

HS code 401130 covers the import and export of new pneumatic tires made of rubber, specifically designed for use on aircraft. This industry plays a crucial role in the global aviation sector, providing essential components for the safe and reliable operation of aircraft. These specialized tires are engineered to withstand the unique stresses and demands of air travel, ensuring the smooth landing and takeoff of planes worldwide.

Production process

The production of aircraft tires involves a complex manufacturing process. It begins with the mixing and compounding of various rubber compounds, including natural and synthetic rubbers, to achieve the desired properties of strength, flexibility, and durability. The rubber compounds are then extruded and molded into the tire's shape, with reinforcing layers of fabric or steel added for additional support. The tires undergo a vulcanization process, where heat and pressure are applied to crosslink the rubber molecules, enhancing the tire's resistance to wear and tear. Finally, the tires are inspected, tested, and prepared for distribution to the aviation industry.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 401130 tires requires a range of raw materials and resources. Natural and synthetic rubber are the primary inputs, sourced from 400110 Natural rubber, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip and 400220 (Butadiene rubber (BR), in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip) respectively. Additionally, the manufacturing process utilizes reinforcing materials such as fabric or steel, as well as various chemicals and additives to improve the tire's performance characteristics. Specialized machinery and equipment, including extruders, molds, and vulcanization presses, are also essential for the production of these high-quality aircraft tires.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 401130 is new pneumatic tires for aircraft. These tires are essential components for the 880000 Aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof industry, as they provide the necessary traction and support for the safe operation of aircraft during takeoff, landing, and ground maneuvers. The tires produced under this code may also find applications in 870000 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof, particularly in specialized vehicles used in airport operations, such as ground support equipment.
