About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), inflatable articles (other than boat or dock fenders), of non-cellular rubber

HS code 401695 covers a diverse range of vulcanized rubber products, excluding hard rubber and inflatable boat/dock fenders. These items are essential components in various industries, from automotive to construction, playing a crucial role in the global economy. The versatility and durability of the products under this code make them indispensable for a wide array of applications.

Production process

The production of the goods described by HS code 401695 typically involves the vulcanization of rubber compounds. This process involves the cross-linking of rubber molecules, which enhances the material's strength, elasticity, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and wear. Manufacturers may employ various techniques, such as compression molding, injection molding, or extrusion, to shape the vulcanized rubber into the desired forms and articles.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the goods under HS code 401695 include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various additives such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents. Manufacturers may also require specialized machinery and equipment, such as mixing mills, extruders, and molding presses, to facilitate the production process.

Production outputs

The products covered by HS code 401695 are used in a wide range of applications, including 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 buses or lorries, and 401410 Rubber; vulcanised, other than hard rubber, articles of apparel and clothing accessories. These vulcanized rubber articles are essential components in the automotive, construction, and consumer goods industries, among others.
