About rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on agricultural or forestry vehicles and machines

HS code 401170 covers the import and export of new pneumatic rubber tires designed for use on agricultural or forestry vehicles and machinery. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the agricultural and forestry sectors, providing essential components for the vehicles and equipment used in these industries. The global market for these specialized tires is driven by the ongoing mechanization of farming and forestry operations, as well as the need for durable, high-performance tires to handle the demanding conditions encountered in these applications.

Production process

The production of 401170 tires involves a multi-step process. First, the tire carcass is built using layers of fabric and rubber. The tread pattern is then molded onto the carcass, and the tire is cured under heat and pressure to vulcanize the rubber. Finally, the tire is inspected and prepared for distribution.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the 401170 tire industry include natural and synthetic rubber, fabric reinforcements, carbon black, and various chemical additives. Specialized tire-making machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and curing presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in tire design, compounding, and production techniques.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 401170 industry is new pneumatic rubber tires for agricultural and forestry vehicles and machinery. These tires are typically consumed by manufacturers of tractors, harvesters, forestry equipment, and other specialized vehicles used in the agricultural and forestry sectors. Other related HS codes that may consume the output of the 401170 industry include 870120 Road tractors for semi-trailers, 870190 Other vehicles for the transport of goods, and 842951 Front-end shovel-loaders, among others.
