HS v2017 Code: 720915

About iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 3mm or more

HS code 720915 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing the production of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel coils with a width of 600mm or more, cold-rolled, and with a thickness of 3mm or more. This type of steel is widely used in various manufacturing industries, making it an essential component of the global economy. The demand for this product is driven by its versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications.

Production process

The production of steel products covered by HS code 720915 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, are smelted in a blast furnace to produce crude steel. The crude steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and flattened in a cold-rolling mill to achieve the desired thickness and width. The cold-rolling process improves the steel's strength, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for a variety of end-uses.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel products under HS code 720915 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements, such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as blast furnaces, rolling mills, and annealing furnaces, to facilitate the production process. Energy, in the form of electricity and natural gas, is another crucial input for the steel industry.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 720915 are primarily used as raw materials for the manufacturing of various metal-based products, such as 730110 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, 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 870120 (Motor vehicles for the transport of goods: Other, with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel)). These steel products are also used in the construction, automotive, and machinery industries, among others.
