About iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, without patterns in relief, flat-rolled, of a width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, pickled, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more

HS code 720825 covers a specific type of iron or non-alloy steel product that is widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. This flat-rolled steel, produced through a hot-rolling and pickling process, is a crucial material for many applications due to its strength, durability, and versatility. Its importance within the broader economy cannot be overstated, as it serves as a foundational input for a wide range of downstream industries and products.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720825 involves a multi-step process. First, iron ore and other raw materials are smelted in a blast furnace to produce molten pig iron. This pig iron is then refined in a basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace to remove impurities and produce steel. The steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently reheated and passed through a series of rolling mills to achieve the desired thickness and width. Finally, the steel is pickled, a process that removes any scale or oxide layers from the surface, resulting in the flat-rolled steel coils described by this code.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of the steel products covered by HS code 720825 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the production process requires significant energy inputs, such as electricity and natural gas, as well as specialized machinery and equipment, including rolling mills, furnaces, and pickling lines.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 720825 are primarily used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries and applications. These include the 730120 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; towers and lattice masts industry, the 870120 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods industry, and the 732111 (Stoves, ranges, grates, cookers (including those with subsidiary boilers for central heating), barbecues, braziers, gas-rings, plate warmers and similar non-electric domestic appliances, and parts thereof, of iron or steel) industry, among others. The versatility of this flat-rolled steel makes it a crucial component in a wide range of manufacturing and construction projects.
