About iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, without patterns in relief, flat-rolled, of a width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more but not exceeding 10mm

HS code 720837 covers a crucial segment of the global steel industry, encompassing hot-rolled, flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products. These steel coils, without patterns in relief, are widely used in a variety of manufacturing and construction applications, making them an essential component of many industrial supply chains. The demand for these steel products is closely tied to the overall health of the global economy, as they serve as a fundamental input for a wide range of downstream industries.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720837 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, 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 high-quality steel. The steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and flattened in a hot-rolling mill to the desired thickness and width, resulting in the flat-rolled steel coils.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 720837 include iron ore, coal, and other ferrous materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, and hot-rolling mills, as well as a skilled workforce to operate these complex production facilities. Energy, in the form of electricity and natural gas, is also a significant input for the steel manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The steel coils produced under HS code 720837 are widely used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries, including 730110 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; rails and railway track construction material, of iron or steel, 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), and 840710 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines for marine propulsion. These steel coils are essential inputs for the production of a wide range of metal products, machinery, and infrastructure.
