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 3mm or more but less than 4.75mm

HS code 720826 covers a specific type of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. This classification plays a crucial role in the global steel trade, as it represents a significant portion of the overall steel production and consumption worldwide.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered under HS code 720826 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, are smelted in a blast furnace to produce molten pig iron. The pig iron is then refined in a basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace to remove impurities and produce the desired steel composition. The steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled into the flat-rolled coils specified in this code. The final step involves pickling, which removes any surface scale or oxidation from the hot-rolling process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 720826 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements, such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery, such as blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, and rolling mills. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential inputs for the various stages of steel production.

Production outputs

The steel products covered under HS code 720826 are primarily used as intermediate inputs in the manufacturing of a wide range of goods, including 730120 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; towers and lattice masts, 870120 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, and 842199 Parts of machinery for filtering or purifying liquids or gases. These flat-rolled steel coils are often further processed, such as through additional rolling, cutting, or coating, to meet the specific requirements of the end-user industries.

Revisions to 720826
