HS v2017 Code: 720917

About iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 0.5mm or more but not exceeding 1mm

HS code 720917 covers a crucial category of iron and non-alloy steel products that are widely used in various industries. These flat-rolled steel coils, with a width of 600mm or more and a thickness between 0.5mm and 1mm, are an essential raw material for manufacturers across sectors such as automotive, construction, and machinery. Their versatility and durability make them indispensable components in the global supply chain.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 720917 typically involves a multi-step process. First, iron ore and other raw materials are smelted in a blast furnace to produce crude steel. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and flattened through a series of cold-rolling operations to achieve the desired thickness and width. The cold-rolling process imparts specific mechanical properties to the steel, enhancing its strength and formability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 720917 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Specialized rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and other metalworking equipment are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, energy resources, and efficient logistics and transportation systems play a crucial role in the industry.

Production outputs

The steel coils produced under HS code 720917 are widely used as raw materials by various downstream industries. They are commonly used in the manufacture of 870323 passenger cars, 730890 construction materials, and 842199 industrial machinery. These cold-rolled steel products are valued for their strength, formability, and suitability for a range of applications, making them an integral component in the global manufacturing landscape.
