Iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness exceeding 1mm but less than 3mm

HS v2017 Code: 720926

About iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness exceeding 1mm but less than 3mm

HS code 720926 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing iron or non-alloy steel that is flat-rolled, with a width of 600mm or more, and a thickness exceeding 1mm but less than 3mm. This type of steel is widely used in various manufacturing and construction applications, making it an essential component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of steel products under HS code 720926 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials such as iron ore and coal are smelted in a blast furnace to produce molten pig iron. The pig iron is then refined in a basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace to remove impurities and produce high-quality steel. The steel is then rolled into flat sheets or plates using specialized rolling mills, which apply pressure to the metal to achieve the desired thickness and width.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel products under HS code 720926 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, and rolling mills, to facilitate the production process. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the steel industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 720926 is flat-rolled steel products, which are used in a wide range of industries. These steel sheets and plates are often consumed by manufacturers of 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, among others.
