Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, electrolytically plated or coated with zinc

HS v2017 Code: 721030

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, electrolytically plated or coated with zinc

HS code 721030 covers the classification of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are electrolytically plated or coated with zinc. This industry plays a crucial role in the global steel supply chain, providing essential materials for a wide range of industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. The demand for these products is driven by their corrosion-resistant properties, making them a popular choice for applications where protection against weathering and environmental factors is crucial.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled steel products under HS code 721030 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw steel is produced through the smelting of iron ore and other materials. The steel is then rolled into thin sheets or strips, often using a process called continuous casting. Finally, the steel is electrolytically plated or coated with a layer of zinc, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improved surface finish.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721030 products include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials used in steel production, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for rolling, coating, and finishing the steel. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy, engineering, and manufacturing processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721030 is flat-rolled steel products that are electrolytically plated or coated with zinc. These materials are widely used in the construction industry for roofing, siding, and other building components, as well as in the automotive industry for body panels and other vehicle parts. The output of this industry may also be consumed by manufacturers of 731815 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, n.e.s. and 732690 Articles of iron or steel, n.e.s..

Revisions to 721030
