About iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils

HS code 7213 covers the import and export of iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods that have been hot-rolled and are in the form of irregularly wound coils. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of manufacturing and construction sectors. The demand for these products is closely tied to the overall health of the global economy, making it an important indicator of industrial activity.

Production process

The production of iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods under HS code 7213 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and scrap metal are melted in a furnace to produce molten steel. The molten steel is then cast into semi-finished products, such as billets or blooms. These semi-finished products are then reheated and passed through a series of rolling mills, which shape and elongate the steel into the desired bar or rod form. Finally, the hot-rolled bars and rods are coiled for ease of transportation and storage.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of HS code 7213 products include iron ore, coal, and scrap metal, which are used as raw materials in the steel-making process. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as furnaces, casting equipment, and rolling mills, to transform the raw materials into the final hot-rolled bar and rod products. Energy, in the form of electricity or natural gas, is also a significant input for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the HS code 7213 industry are hot-rolled iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods in the form of irregularly wound coils. These products are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, including 7214 Iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling, 7215 Iron or non-alloy steel; other bars and rods, not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished, and 7216 Iron or non-alloy steel; angles, shapes and sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, which use these materials in the manufacture of a wide range of products, such as construction materials, machinery, and automotive components.
