About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), moulded rubber mats and mats of non-rectangular shape made by cutting from the piece, of cellular rubber

HS code 401610 covers a diverse range of vulcanized rubber products, including moulded rubber mats and non-rectangular mats made by cutting from the piece. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from construction and transportation to consumer goods and industrial applications. The versatility and durability of these rubber items make them essential components in a wide array of products and systems, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.

Production process

The production of the goods covered under HS code 401610 typically involves a multi-step process of vulcanization. This process transforms raw rubber into a more durable and resilient material through the addition of sulfur and other chemicals. The vulcanized rubber is then moulded or cut into the desired shapes and sizes, often using specialized machinery and tooling. The specific techniques employed may vary depending on the final product, but the core process of vulcanization remains a critical step in the manufacturing of these rubber goods.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of the items under HS code 401610 include raw rubber, either natural or synthetic, as well as various chemical additives such as sulfur, accelerators, and fillers. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the moulding, cutting, and finishing of the rubber products. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production facilities and equipment.

Production outputs

The goods classified under HS code 401610 are primarily used as components or accessories in a wide range of industries. These vulcanized rubber products may be incorporated into 401120 (Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars)), 401290 Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on bicycles, motorcycles or the like, and 401699 (Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), articles n.e.c. in heading no. 4016), among other applications. The versatility of these rubber items ensures their widespread use across various sectors, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.
