Iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of less than 0.5mm

HS v2017 Code: 720928

About iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of less than 0.5mm

HS code 720928 covers a specific type of iron or non-alloy steel product - flat-rolled steel sheets that are cold-rolled, have a width of 600mm or more, and a thickness of less than 0.5mm. This category of steel products is widely used in various industries, including automotive, construction, and consumer goods manufacturing, making it an important component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled steel sheets under HS code 720928 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw steel is melted and cast into slabs or billets. These are then passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce the thickness and shape the steel into the desired flat-rolled form. The final cold-rolling process further refines the steel's thickness and surface finish, resulting in the thin, high-quality sheets covered by this code.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 720928 steel products 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 and technical expertise are necessary to operate the production facilities and ensure consistent quality.

Production outputs

The flat-rolled steel sheets produced under HS code 720928 are used in a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of 721011 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated, 721012 (Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated), and 721090 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, clad, plated or coated. These steel products are essential inputs for industries such as automotive, construction, and consumer goods manufacturing.
