HS v2017 Code: 721210

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, plated or coated with tin

HS code 721210 covers the classification of iron or non-alloy steel that has been flat-rolled and has a width of less than 600mm, with a plating or coating of tin. This type of steel product is widely used in a variety of industries, from packaging and construction to automotive and electronics. Its versatility and durability make it an essential material in the global economy.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled steel products under HS code 721210 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw iron or non-alloy steel is heated and rolled into thin sheets or strips. These are then processed through a tin-plating or tin-coating line, where a thin layer of tin is applied to the steel surface. The final product is then cut to the desired width and prepared for distribution and use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721210 steel products include raw iron or non-alloy steel, tin for the plating or coating process, and specialized machinery for rolling, plating, and cutting the steel. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721210 is tin-plated or tin-coated flat-rolled steel in widths less than 600mm. This material is widely used in the manufacture of 721090 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of less than 600 mm, clad, plated or coated, 732310 Iron or steel; table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, and 854411 Winding wire of copper; insulated, among other products.
