HS v2017 Code: 721090

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, plated or coated with materials n.e.c. in heading no. 7210

HS code 721090 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are plated or coated with materials not elsewhere classified in heading 7210. These steel products play a vital role in a wide range of industries, from construction and automotive to household appliances and packaging. Their versatility and durability make them indispensable in the global economy.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled steel products under HS code 721090 typically involves a series of complex processes. First, raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, are smelted in a blast furnace to produce crude steel. The crude steel is then subjected to various rolling and finishing processes, including hot rolling, cold rolling, and various coating techniques, to create the desired flat-rolled steel products. These coatings can include materials like tin, chromium, or zinc, which enhance the steel's corrosion resistance, appearance, and other properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of flat-rolled steel products under HS code 721090 include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials necessary for steel production. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, coating lines, and finishing equipment, are essential for the various processing steps. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the energy-intensive steel manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 721090 are flat-rolled steel products, which can be further categorized into various sub-products based on their specific characteristics and applications. These steel products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 730110 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, 870321 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc, and 841821 Refrigerators, household type: Compression-type, among others.
