HS v2017 Code: 721070

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, painted, varnished or coated with plastics

HS code 721070 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are 600mm or wider in width, and have been painted, varnished, or coated with plastics. These materials play a vital role in a diverse range of industries, from construction and automotive to household appliances and packaging. As a key component in the global supply chain, the production and trade of these steel products significantly impact the broader economy.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled steel products under HS code 721070 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw iron or non-alloy steel is heated and passed through a series of rollers to achieve the desired thickness and width. The steel is then subjected to various finishing processes, such as painting, varnishing, or the application of plastic coatings, to enhance its durability, appearance, and protective properties.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 721070 steel products include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the rolling, finishing, and coating processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and a robust transportation infrastructure to facilitate the movement of raw materials and finished goods.

Production outputs

The flat-rolled steel products covered under HS code 721070 are widely used in a variety of downstream industries. These materials are commonly found in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure, as well as in the manufacturing of vehicles, household appliances, and packaging materials. Other industries that may consume the outputs of HS code 721070 include 730890 Structures and parts of structures, n.e.s., of iron or steel, 732690 Articles of iron or steel, n.e.s., and 761010 Aluminum structures and parts of structures, n.e.s.; aluminum plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures.
