About HS Code 847759

This 'basket' HS code covers various machinery for moulding or forming rubber or plastics that are not specifically classified in other subheadings of 8477. It includes specialized processes like rotational moulding for large, hollow objects, compression moulding for thermosets and composites (excluding tires), transfer moulding, and reaction injection moulding (RIM). These machines cater to niche applications in industries such as automotive, construction, and consumer goods, where specific forming techniques are required for complex or specialized parts. International trade involves manufacturers seeking custom solutions and advanced material processing capabilities. Exporters often provide highly engineered, application-specific machinery, reflecting continuous technological advancements in polymer processing.

Products Under This Code

Rotational moulding machines, compression moulding presses (non-tire), transfer moulding machines, reaction injection moulding (RIM) machines, liquid silicone rubber (LSR) moulding machines, foam moulding machines, vacuum compression moulding machines

Real World Examples

Ferry Industries Rotational Molders, REP International Rubber Injection Presses, Engel Compression Molding Machines, KraussMaffei RIM Machines

Common Misclassification

As a residual code, it's often confused with more specific moulding codes like 847720 (extruders), 847730 (blow moulding), 847740 (thermoforming), or 847751 (tire moulding) if the specific process is not clearly defined.
