HS v2022 Code: 848049

About moulds; for metal or metal carbides, other than injection or compression types

HS code 848049 covers the production of moulds used for the manufacturing of metal or metal carbide products, excluding injection or compression types. These moulds play a crucial role in the metal fabrication industry, enabling the creation of complex and precise metal components that are essential for a wide range of applications, from automotive parts to industrial machinery. The global demand for these specialized moulds is driven by the ongoing industrialization and technological advancements across various sectors, making this industry a vital contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of moulds for metal or metal carbides typically involves a combination of precision machining, casting, and specialized tooling. Manufacturers often utilize computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies to design and engineer the mould cavities, ensuring a high degree of accuracy and consistency. The moulds are then fabricated using advanced machining techniques, such as CNC milling and turning, to achieve the desired shape and dimensions. In some cases, the moulds may also be produced through casting processes, where molten metal is poured into a pre-designed mould cavity and allowed to solidify.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of moulds under HS code 848049 include high-quality metal alloys, such as steel, aluminum, or titanium, as well as specialized cutting tools, abrasives, and other consumables used in the machining and finishing processes. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced computer software, precision measurement equipment, and skilled technicians to design, engineer, and manufacture these specialized moulds.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the production of moulds for metal or metal carbide components, which are then used in various manufacturing processes, such as 848041 Injection or compression type moulds for metal or metal carbides and 848079 Moulds for metal or metal carbides, other than injection or compression type. These moulds are essential for the fabrication of a wide range of metal products, including automotive parts, industrial machinery, and consumer electronics, among others.
