About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), articles n.e.c. in heading no. 4016, of non-cellular rubber

HS code 401699 covers a diverse range of vulcanized rubber products that are not classified elsewhere in the 4016 heading. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting various manufacturing sectors, from automotive and construction to consumer goods and industrial equipment. The versatility of these rubber articles allows them to be widely used as components, seals, gaskets, and other functional parts, contributing to the overall efficiency and performance of a wide array of products.

Production process

The production of articles under HS code 401699 typically involves the vulcanization of rubber compounds. This process involves the cross-linking of rubber molecules, which enhances the material's strength, durability, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and other environmental factors. Manufacturers may use a variety of molding techniques, such as injection molding, compression molding, or extrusion, to shape the vulcanized rubber into the desired form and size.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 401699 articles include raw rubber materials, such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or a combination of both. Manufacturers may also use various additives, such as fillers, plasticizers, and curing agents, to modify the properties of the rubber compound and achieve the desired characteristics. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as mixers, extruders, and molding presses, are essential for the efficient and consistent production of these rubber articles.

Production outputs

The diverse range of products covered under HS code 401699 includes a wide variety of vulcanized rubber articles, such as seals, gaskets, washers, grommets, and other molded or extruded rubber parts. These products are often used as components in various industries, including 870000 Vehicles, 840000 Machinery, 950000 Toys, games and sports requisites, and 940000 Furniture, among others. The versatility and durability of these rubber articles make them essential for ensuring the proper functioning and performance of a wide range of products.
