About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, hot-rolled, rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a width more than 150mm but less than 600mm, 4mm thick or more, not in coils, without patterns in relief

HS code 721113 covers a specific type of flat-rolled steel product that is widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. This hot-rolled steel is an essential material for many applications due to its durability, strength, and versatility. It plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting the production of a wide range of goods and infrastructure.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered by HS code 721113 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, are smelted in a blast furnace to produce molten pig iron. This pig iron is then refined in a basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace to remove impurities and produce steel. The steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and shaped into the desired flat-rolled products using specialized rolling mills.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel products covered by HS code 721113 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements, such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery, such as blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, and rolling mills. Energy, in the form of electricity and natural gas, is also a significant input for the steel industry.

Production outputs

The steel products covered by HS code 721113 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacturing of a wide range of goods, including 730890 Structures and parts of structures, n.e.c., of iron or steel, 870120 Road tractors for semi-trailers, and 842199 Parts of machinery for filtering or purifying liquids or gases. These flat-rolled steel products are essential for the construction, automotive, and industrial equipment industries, among others.
