Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), erasers, of non-cellular rubber

HS v2022 Code: 401692

About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), erasers, of non-cellular rubber

HS code 401692 covers a range of vulcanized rubber products, excluding hard rubber, that are not made from cellular rubber. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader manufacturing and consumer goods sectors, providing essential components and materials for a wide variety of applications. From automotive parts to office supplies, the products classified under this code are integral to the global economy.

Production process

The production of the goods covered by HS code 401692 typically involves the vulcanization of natural or synthetic rubber. This process, which uses heat, pressure, and chemical additives, transforms the raw rubber into a more durable and stable material. Manufacturers may employ various molding, extrusion, or cutting techniques to shape the vulcanized rubber into the desired products, such as erasers, gaskets, or seals.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 401692 include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various chemical additives used in the vulcanization process. Manufacturers may also require specialized machinery and equipment, such as mixing machines, extruders, and molding presses, to shape and form the vulcanized rubber into the final products.

Production outputs

The goods classified under HS code 401692 are used in a wide range of industries and applications. The 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)) or 401693 (Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), gaskets, washers and other seals, of non-cellular rubber) for use in the automotive industry. They may also be used to produce 401693 (Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), gaskets, washers and other seals, of non-cellular rubber) or 401699 (Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), articles n.e.c. in heading no. 4016, of non-cellular rubber) for various industrial and consumer applications.

Revisions to 401692
