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 less than 3mm

HS code 720854 covers a specific type of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel product. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications. The production and trade of these steel products are closely monitored and regulated, as they are fundamental to the overall health and growth of many economies worldwide.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720854 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 the desired steel composition. 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 final flat-rolled shape and thickness.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 720854 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 manufacturing process. Additionally, a skilled workforce with expertise in steel production and metallurgy is necessary to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 720854 are primarily used as raw materials in the manufacturing of a wide range of goods, including 730890 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, n.e.s., 732690 Articles of iron or steel, n.e.s., and 870120 Road tractors for semi-trailers. These flat-rolled steel products are often further processed, such as through cutting, stamping, or welding, to create more specialized components for various industries, including construction, automotive, and machinery.
