HS v2017 Code: 721190

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, n.e.c. in heading no. 7211, width less than 600mm

HS code 721190 covers a broad range of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products with a width of less than 600mm. These materials are essential inputs for various manufacturing industries, including construction, automotive, and machinery production. They are valued for their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, making them a crucial component of the global supply chain.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products under HS code 721190 typically involves a series of rolling and finishing processes. Raw materials, such as iron ore and coal, are first smelted in a blast furnace to produce crude steel. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and processed through a series of rolling mills to achieve the desired thickness and shape. Finally, the flat-rolled products may undergo additional finishing steps, such as annealing, pickling, or coating, to enhance their properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products under HS code 721190 include iron ore, coal, and other raw materials necessary for steel production. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and pickling lines, are essential for the various processing steps. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products covered by HS code 721190 are widely used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These materials are often consumed by manufacturers of 730110 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, 870120 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods, and 842199 Parts of machinery and mechanical appliances, having individual functions, n.e.c. in heading no. 8421.
