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 3mm or more but less than 4.75mm

HS code 720853 covers a crucial segment of the global steel industry, encompassing the production of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products. These materials are widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing, making them a vital component of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720853 typically involves a hot-rolling process. In this method, steel slabs or billets are heated to high temperatures and then passed through a series of rollers, which gradually reduce the thickness of the material while increasing its length and width. This process results in a flat, uniform product with a smooth surface, without any patterns or relief.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 720853 include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials used in the steelmaking process. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as rolling mills and furnaces, are essential for the hot-rolling operation. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the production of these steel products.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 720853 are primarily used as intermediate inputs in various manufacturing and construction industries. These flat-rolled steel products may be further processed or fabricated into a wide range of end-use products, such as 730890 Structures and parts of structures, n.e.c., of iron or steel, 870120 Road tractors for semi-trailers, and 940320 Metal furniture, among others.

Revisions to 720853
