HS v2017 Code: 721691

About iron or non-alloy steel; angles, shapes and sections, n.e.c. in heading no. 7216, cold-formed or cold-finished, from flat-rolled products

HS code 721691 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing the production of iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, and sections that are cold-formed or cold-finished from flat-rolled products. These specialized steel products find widespread application across various industries, serving as essential components in construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development, making them a vital part of the global economy.

Production process

The production of the steel products covered under HS code 721691 typically involves a multi-step process. First, flat-rolled steel is subjected to cold-forming or cold-finishing techniques, such as rolling, bending, or stamping, to create the desired angles, shapes, and sections. These processes allow for the precise shaping and dimensioning of the steel components without the need for extensive heat treatment, ensuring cost-effectiveness and efficiency in manufacturing.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of the steel products under HS code 721691 include high-quality flat-rolled steel, specialized machinery for cold-forming and cold-finishing processes, and skilled labor. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production equipment. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The steel products covered under HS code 721691 are widely used as structural components in various industries, including 730890 Structures and parts of structures, n.e.c., of iron or steel, 731010 (Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, of iron or steel, for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity not exceeding 300 l, not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment), and 732690 Articles of iron or steel, n.e.c.. These cold-formed or cold-finished steel angles, shapes, and sections are essential for the construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors, contributing to the overall development and growth of the global economy.
