About iron or non-alloy steel; wire, n.e.c. in heading no. 7217

HS code 721790 covers a wide range of iron or non-alloy steel wire products that are not specifically classified elsewhere. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials and components for a diverse range of applications. The versatility and ubiquity of these wire products make them an integral part of the broader steel and metal processing industries.

Production process

The production of iron or non-alloy steel wire involves several key steps. First, raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and scrap metal are smelted in a furnace to produce molten steel. The molten steel is then cast into billets or wire rods, which are subsequently drawn through a series of dies to reduce the diameter and increase the length, resulting in the desired wire product. Depending on the specific application, the wire may undergo additional processing, such as heat treatment, coating, or surface finishing, to enhance its properties and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721790 wire products include iron ore, coal, scrap metal, and other alloying elements, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the smelting, casting, and drawing processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are essential for powering the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 721790 are various types of iron or non-alloy steel wire, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries. These wire products may be used in the manufacture of 731210 Wire rope, 731300 Barbed wire, 732010 Springs, and 732020 Helical springs, among other applications. The versatility of these wire products makes them an essential component in the construction, automotive, and machinery sectors.
