About iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, n.e.c. in heading no. 7213, of circular cross-section measuring 14mm or more in diameter

HS code 721399 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods that are hot-rolled and irregularly wound into coils. These products are widely used in various manufacturing and construction applications, making them an essential component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of 721399 steel bars and rods 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 create high-quality steel. The steel is then cast into billets or blooms, which are subsequently rolled and shaped into the desired bar or rod profiles using hot-rolling techniques.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of 721399 steel bars and rods include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other steel-making equipment are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor and efficient logistics are crucial for the industry to function effectively.

Production outputs

The 721399 steel bars and rods produced in this industry are used in a wide range of applications, including construction, machinery, and automotive manufacturing. These products may be further processed or consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 730120 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; towers and lattice masts, 730840 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; equipment for scaffolding, shuttering, propping or pit-propping, and 870120 (Tractors (other than tractors of heading no. 8709)). The versatility of these steel products makes them an integral part of the global supply chain.
