Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, plated or coated, (excluding tin, zinc or plastic)

HS v2017 Code: 721250

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, plated or coated, (excluding tin, zinc or plastic)

HS code 721250 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing the production of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products with a width less than 600mm, which are plated or coated (excluding tin, zinc, or plastic). These steel products find widespread applications across various industries, serving as essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a diverse range of goods, from construction materials to automotive components, making them a vital cog in the global economy.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered under HS code 721250 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the 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 a series of rolling and finishing processes, including hot rolling, cold rolling, and various coating or plating techniques, to achieve the desired thickness, surface finish, and corrosion resistance properties.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 721250 include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements, such as manganese and chromium. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, coating lines, and annealing furnaces, to ensure efficient and high-quality production.

Production outputs

The steel products covered under HS code 721250 are widely used as raw materials in the manufacturing of a diverse range of goods, including 730890 Structures and parts of structures, n.e.s., of iron or steel, 870321 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, incl. station wagons and racing cars, with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc, and 940320 (Metal furniture (excluding seats and medical, surgical, dental or veterinary furniture)).
