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

HS code 720852 covers a critical category of iron and non-alloy steel products that are widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. These flat-rolled steel sheets and plates play a vital role in the global economy, providing essential raw materials for the production of a diverse range of goods and infrastructure.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720852 typically involves a multi-step hot-rolling process. Raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, are first smelted in a blast furnace to produce molten pig iron. This pig iron is then further refined and processed in a basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace to create steel. The molten 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.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 720852 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other heavy machinery are also essential for the hot-rolling process. Additionally, skilled labor and advanced production techniques are necessary to ensure the consistent quality and dimensional accuracy of the final steel products.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 720852 are primarily used as raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of goods, including construction materials, automotive components, and industrial equipment. These flat-rolled steel sheets and plates may be further processed or fabricated into various end-products, such as 730890 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, n.e.s., 870120 Road tractors for semi-trailers, and 842199 Parts of machinery and apparatus for filtering or purifying liquids or gases, n.e.s..
