HS v2017 Code: 721410

About iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling

HS code 721410 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing the production of iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods. These products are essential raw materials for a wide range of manufacturing and construction applications, making them a vital component of the global economy. The forging, hot-rolling, and hot-drawing processes involved in their production contribute to the strength, durability, and versatility of these steel products.

Production process

The production of iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods under HS code 721410 typically involves a series of high-temperature metalworking techniques. The process often begins with the melting of iron ore and other raw materials in a furnace, followed by the casting of the molten steel into ingots or continuous cast billets. These semi-finished products are then subjected to forging, hot-rolling, or hot-drawing processes to shape them into the desired bar or rod forms. The inclusion of those twisted after rolling allows for the creation of specialized products with unique properties and applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of HS code 721410 items include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Specialized machinery, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and drawing equipment, are also essential for the various metalworking steps involved. Additionally, skilled labor, energy resources, and efficient logistics and transportation systems play a crucial role in the overall production process.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 721410 are iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods, which find applications in a wide range of industries. These products may be further processed or consumed by manufacturers of 730110 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; bridges and bridge-sections, 730120 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; towers and lattice masts, 730210 Railway or tramway track construction material of iron or steel; rails, and 732111 (Stoves, ranges, grates, cookers (including those with subsidiary boilers for central heating), barbecues, braziers, gas-rings, plate warmers and similar non-electric domestic appliances, and parts thereof, of iron or steel).
