Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, plated or coated with aluminium, other than plated or coated with aluminium zinc-alloys

HS v2017 Code: 721069

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, plated or coated with aluminium, other than plated or coated with aluminium zinc-alloys

HS code 721069 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are plated or coated with aluminum, excluding those coated with aluminum-zinc alloys. These materials play a vital role in a wide range of industries, from construction and automotive to packaging and consumer goods, making them an integral part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of the materials covered by HS code 721069 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the steel is rolled into flat sheets or plates, often using advanced rolling mills. These flat-rolled products are then subjected to a plating or coating process, where a layer of aluminum is applied to the surface. This coating process helps to enhance the corrosion resistance, appearance, and other properties of the steel, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721069 materials include high-quality iron or non-alloy steel, as well as aluminum for the plating or coating process. Specialized machinery, such as rolling mills and coating equipment, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and a well-developed transportation and logistics infrastructure to ensure the efficient production and distribution of these materials.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 721069 are flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are plated or coated with aluminum. These materials are widely used in the manufacturing of 730890 Structures and parts of structures, n.e.s., of iron or steel, 761010 Aluminium foil of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm, and 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, n.e.s., among other applications. The versatility of these materials makes them essential for a diverse range of industries, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.
