About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, n.e.c. in heading no. 7209

HS code 720990 covers a crucial segment of the global steel industry, encompassing the production of iron or non-alloy steel flat-rolled products with a width of 600mm or more, which have been cold-rolled. These steel products are widely used in a variety of industries, from automotive and construction to appliances and machinery, making them an essential component of modern economic development.

Production process

The production of 720990 steel products typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and scrap metal are melted in a furnace to produce molten 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 surface finish. The cold-rolling process helps to enhance the steel's strength, durability, and formability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 720990 steel products include iron ore, coal, scrap metal, and various alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and finishing lines, are essential for the manufacturing process. Skilled labor, energy resources, and efficient logistics and transportation systems also play a crucial role in the industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 720990 is cold-rolled iron or non-alloy steel flat-rolled products with a width of 600mm or more. These steel sheets and coils are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 870000 Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, 730000 Articles of iron or steel, and 841000 Boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof, among others. The versatility and durability of 720990 steel products make them an integral component in the manufacturing of various goods and infrastructure projects.
