Iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of less than 0.5mm

HS v2017 Code: 720918

About iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of less than 0.5mm

HS code 720918 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing iron or non-alloy steel in coils, flat-rolled, with a width of 600mm or more, that has been cold-rolled to a thickness of less than 0.5mm. This type of steel product is widely used in a variety of industries, from automotive manufacturing to construction, making it an essential component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of steel products under HS code 720918 typically involves a multi-step process. First, iron ore and other raw materials are smelted in a blast furnace to produce crude steel. The steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled into thin sheets or coils through a process known as cold rolling. This cold rolling process enhances the steel's strength and surface finish, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel products under HS code 720918 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as rolling mills and annealing furnaces, are essential for the cold-rolling and finishing processes. Energy, in the form of electricity and natural gas, is also a significant input for the steel manufacturing industry.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 720918 are primarily used as raw materials for the manufacture of a wide range of goods, including 721012 Tin-plated steel sheets and strips, 721049 (Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled or cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated), and 721070 (Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled or cold-rolled (cold-reduced), clad, plated or coated). These steel products are essential inputs for industries such as automotive, construction, and consumer goods manufacturing.
